Description
Flannery O'Connor has been hailed as queen of the short story, executed with Southern flair. A Georgia-born Catholic, O'Connor's work is replete with religious themes and their outgrowth: righteousness and hypocrisy. Her characters are more than just flawed; some border on monstrous, and their actions are appalling, while at the same time highlighting the humor to be found in the absurd, the ironic. O'Connor's crafting of dialogue is one of her strong suits, as is her ability to create Southern characters devoid of cleansing romanticism or equally unconvincing "Cracker" embellishment.
