Book overview
"The current volume of posthumous stories is the work of a master, a writer's writer--but a reader's too--an incomparable craftsman who wrote, let it be said, some of the finest stories in our language." --Newsweek
Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality.
The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.
