Comparada a menudo con William Faulkner o Carson McCullers, con quienes forjó lo que se ha llamado el «gótico sureño», Flannery O'Connor es una de las narradoras imprescindibles de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This volume is a compilation of all of Flannery O'Connor's stories, both those published during her lifetime and others found after her death - many of them translated into Spanish here for the first time.

>The breathtaking and disturbing titles presented here are set in the small-town and rural US South, especially the author's home state of Georgia. It is a world in shambles, mired in poverty, where hatred and violence have taken firm hold. Yet, amid the sordidness, racial tensions, suffocating religiosity and frustrated struggle for freedom, O'Connor discovers a strange beauty. Her writing is an intimate portrayal of the human condition that transcends mere storytelling.

Often compared to William Faulkner or Carson McCullers, fellow icons of the so-called "Southern Gothic" style, Flannery O'Connor ranks as one of the most important figures in twentieth-century American literature.
