Critics Review
“What we lost when she died is bitter. What we have is astonishing: the stories burn brighter than ever, and strike deeper.” –Walter Clemons, Newsweek
About The Author
Flannery O'Connor
Flannery O’Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925. When she died at the age of thirty-nine, America lost one of its most gifted writers at the height of her powers. O’Connor wrote two novels, Wise Blood (1952) and The Violent Bear It Away (1960), and two story collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find (1955) and Everything That Rises Must Converge (1964). Her Complete Stories, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year. Her essays were published in Mystery and Manners (1969) and her letters in The Habit of Being (1979). She lived most of her adult life on her family’s ancestral farm, Andalusia, outside Milledgeville, Georgia.
