Overview"Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Special Award ""I have come to think that the true likeness of Flannery O'Connor will be painted by herself, a self-portrait in words, to be found in her letters . . . There she stands, a phoenix risen from her own words: calm, slow, funny, courteous, both modest and very sure of herself, intense, sharply penetrating, devout but never pietistic, downright, occasionally fierce, and honest in a way that restores honor to the word.""--Sally Fitzgerald, from the Introduction" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Flannery O'Connor , Sally FitzgeraldPublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux Imprint: Farrar, Straus and Giroux Dimensions: Width: 15.30cm , Height: 4.40cm , Length: 23.20cm Weight: 0.726kg ISBN: 9780374521042ISBN 10: 0374521042 Pages: 640 Publication Date: 01 August 1988 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock  We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.

She wrote two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away, and two story collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Everything That Rises Must Converge. Her Complete Stories, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year, and in a 2009 online poll it was voted as the best book to have won the award in the contest's 60-year history. Her essays were published in Mystery and Manners and her letters in The Habit of Being. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
