    With stories like A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Everything that Rises Must Converge, O'Connor makes you fear, then relish, evil. That's not right. But she does make you turn, savagely at times, on the well-and-fine, the common points of view and ways of behaving.

    Rarely do I get to read a short story anthology (other the the textbook for various classes that I teach), so this was a double treat. O'Connor's themes are disturbing and her protrayal of society is too.

    Some of my favorite short stories are in here. Read 'A Late Encounter With the Enemy,' 'The Displaced Person,' 'The River,' and 'Good Country People.'

    Flannery O'Connor is one of my favorite writers. She's witty and provocotive, yet she's still able to lend an (at times) inappropriate softness to her stories which I adore.
