- Summary:
- This book explores the short fiction of Flannery O'Connor, who had an immediate and enduring impact on the American literary dialogue. It addresses her use of grotesque characters, Southern settings, questions of morality, and Roman Catholic themes through examination and close analysis of some of O'Connor's best and least-known works, such as "A Good Man is Hard to Find," "Good Country People," and "Temple of the Holy Ghost."
