<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><i>Everything That Rises Must Converge</i> (1965) is nine posthumous stories. The introduction is by Robert Fitzgerald.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Flannery O'Connor was working on <i>Everything That Rises Must Converge</i> at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The current volume of posthumous stories is the work of a master, a writer's writer-- but a reader's too-- an incomparable craftsman who wrote, let it be said, some of the finest stories in our language." --<i>Newsweek</i> <p/>"All in all they comprise the best collection of shorter fiction to have been published in America during the past twenty years." --<i>Theodore Solotaroff, Book Week</i> <p/>"When I read Flannery O'Connor, I do not think of Hemingway, or Katherine Anne Porter, or Sartre, but rather of someone like Sophocles. What more can you say for a writer? I write her name with honor, for all the truth and all the craft with which she shows man's fall and his dishonor." --<i>Thomas Merton</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Flannery O'Connor</b> (1925-1964) was one of America's most gifted writers. She wrote two novels, <i>Wise Blood</i> and <i>The Violent Bear It Away</i>, and two story collections, <i>A Good Man Is Hard to Find </i> and <i>Everything That Rises Must Converge</i>. Her <i>Complete Stories</i>, 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 <i>Mystery and Manners</i> and her letters in <i>The Habit of Being</i>.
