An essential collection of classic stories that established Flannery O’Connor’s reputation as an American master of fiction—now with a new introduction by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Groff In 1955, with the title story and others in this critical edition, Flannery O’Connor firmly laid claim to her place as one of the most original and provocative writers of her generation. Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O’Connor’s unique 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. These classic stories—including “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” “Good Country People,” and “The Displaced Person,” among others, are sure to inspire future generations of fans and remind existing readers why she remains a master of the short story.

A good man is hard to find

“I found out the crime don’t matter. You can do one thing or you can do another, kill a ma man or take a tire of his car, because sooner or later you’re going to forget what it was you done and just be punished for it “
“They never shown me my papers. That’s why I sing myself now. I said long ago, you get you a signature and sign everything you do and keep a copy of it. Then you’ll know what you done and you can hold up the crime to the punishment and se do they match and in the end you’ll have something to prove you ain’t been treat right. I call myself the Misfit because I can’t make what all I done wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment.”
