An essential collection of classic stories that established Flannery O'Connor's reputation as an American master of fiction—now with a new introduction by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Groff In 1955, with the title story and others in this critical edition, Flannery O'Connor firmly laid claim to her place as one of the most original and provocative writers of her generation. Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O'Connor's unique view of life—infused with religious symbolism, haunted by apocalyptic possibility, sustained by the tragic comedy of human behavior, confronted by the necessity of salvation. These classic stories—including "The Life You Save May Be Your Own," "Good Country People," and "The Displaced Person," among others, are sure to inspire future generations of fans and remind existing readers why she remains a master of the short story.

      O'Connor was one of the great writers of the mid-century American South, bringing new subtlety to portraits of small-town and rural life. Narrator Marguerite Gavin captures that subtlety through tone and accent in this audiobook of O'Connor's first story collection. The offbeat characters are working out issues of God and good and evil. Gavin shares O'Connor's apparent affection for them all, no matter how peculiar, deluded, or downright murderous they are, with a strong understanding of the sounds of the South. The combination of narrator and author revitalizes an American literary icon for a new generation of listeners. The introduction (written by Lauren Groff) is long but interesting and useful to those who want to know more about this important American author. D.M.H. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
