Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O'Connor's unique, grotesque view of life-- infused with religious symbolism, haunted by apocalyptic possibility, sustained by the tragic comedy of human behavior, confronted by the necessity of salvation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these classic stories-- including The Life You Save May Be Your Own, Good Country People, The Displaced Person, and seven other acclaimed tales-- O'Connor earned a permanent place in the hearts of American readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch savagery, compassion, farce, art, and truth have gone into these stories. O'Connor's characters are wholeheartedly horrible, and almost better than life. I find it hard to think of a funnier or more frightening writer. -- Robert Lowell \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn these stories the rural South is, for the first time, viewed by a writer who orthodoxy matches her talent. The results are revolutionary. -- The New York Times Book Review \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlannery O'Connor (1925-1964) was born in Savannah, Georgia. She earned her M.F.A. at the University of Iowa, but lived most of her life in the South, where she became an anomaly among post-World War II authors-- a Roman Catholic woman whose stated purpose was to reveal the mystery of God's grace in everyday life. Her work-- novels, short stories, letters, and criticism-- received a number of awards, including the National Book Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harcourt Brace Jovanovich","offers":[{"title":"Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories | Flannery O'Connor | Paperback | 0156364654 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1776320","offer_id":49725552263320,"sku":"1776320","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81KhSSlOVvL_8b6b3ca6-be79-4980-b846-303c362b5ad9.jpg?v=1787332427","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/good-man-is-hard-to-find-and-other-stories-2","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
