## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Edition Of O'Connor's Works
*by J***. on August 23, 2015*

I greatly appreciated the Collected Works edition of Flannery O'Connor's writings. O'Connor is a one-of-a-kind master storyteller. I assume most people considering this volume are already somewhat familiar with her work, particularly her short stories A Good Man is Hard to Find and Good Country People, and perhaps her novel Wise Blood. There is, of course, more, and it is all well-worth reading, but I'll not here review any of her novels, short stories, or other writings. My comments are more addressed to the edition itself.The stories are not presented in the temporal order in which she wrote them. Allowing for that, though, not only did the volume allow me to see the progression in her writing style and skill, but it allowed me to see how she reworked some of her earlier stories into her later ones and also to see how she revisits and reuses ideas and settings.The Notes are sparse but helpful. They are near the end of the volume and do not interrupt the text. The Chronology is a brief outline of her life which can help place her writings in context. The ribbon that allows the reader to mark progress in the book is a very nice touch, eliminating the need for a bookmark. There is no Introduction to the volume.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius from Georgia.
*by G***O on October 3, 2020*

Flannery O'Connor was a shy young woman from rural Georgia. As a little girl she got into some newsreel footage for teaching her chicken to walk backwards. She was afflicted with Lupus, and she was a serious Roman Catholic in the middle of the Protestant Bible Belt. So she was removed from the ordinary social life of her neighbors. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She became a sensitive, objective observer of her neighbors. Their sincerely held fundamentalist beliefs, their often unsuccessful attempts to reconcile those religious convictions with their strong passions and often violent emotions. What makes her writing so successful is that she is not a satirist, She is not ridiculing these people. She is deeply sympathetic to them. She is much more critical of those who ridicule those beliefs or attempt to "rise above them". I don't know how she is taught in today's "woke" uniiversities. . Maybe she doesn't fit in. If not it's the students' lossI haven't gotten deeply into her two novels., but I have read most of her short stories. As a short story writer her closest parallel is Faulkner In my view she is on a level with him. She is as stunning in her own different way as Hemingway or Henry James or any of the great masters of that art form. If you read her be prepared to check any comfortable politically correct assumptions at the door.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEAUTIFUL Book
*by J***O on February 20, 2025*

They don't make books like this anymore! Except for the non-profit Library of America. You can tell they make books for love of books, not of money. It's thick with collected works of O'Connor, yet small enough to hold in one hand (a big one, at any rate). Under its dust jacket the book is beautifully wrapped in fabric. The paper, the printing, the spacing is all beautiful. There's even a ribbon to keep your place in the book. Like I said: BEAUTIFUL.
