Synopsis
Winner of the National Book Award The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime-- Everything That Rises Must Converge and A Good Man Is Hard to Find . O'Connor published her first story, The Geranium, in 1946, while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, Judgement Day--sent to her publisher shortly before her death--is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of The Geranium. Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux., Winner of the National Book Award The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction.

- 2***4 (74)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis by far is the most amazing packaging ever. What an awesome surprise....The book ordered was in EXCELLENT perfect condition...I have purchased new books from ebay but never has one arrived as advertised "NEW" and perfect like this one. Kudos to this seller....I am beyond impressed...certainly will be a returning customer. The price for the book was half the price of the same book from other sellers...and it was a good buy.
- s***s (1518)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCookbook is as listed. Price is more reasonable than other sellers. I appreciate that the book was vacuumed sealed in recyclable packaging, so I can put in my Recycling Can. -- Better for the environment. Fast reasonable shipping. Would gladly purchase from this business again. A +++++++Tacos and Tequila: 100+ Vibrant Recipes That Bring Mexico to Your Kitchen (#305942279968)
- f***u (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseRecommend seller today. Book as described. Received in condition described. Book a little thinner than expected, but it is fine. No issues. Easy transaction with no hassles. Keep it going good. NOTE: I did not rate communication because I do not remember messaging the seller. Since it is not rated, you can assume the seller did what they are there to do: process my transaction, charge me, and send me the product in the proper packaging to arrive at my door in good, working condition.Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel (and How You Can Discern the Truth) (#305701296263)
