It's slightly annoying that more Flannery O'Conner isn't available in ebook format. This is the only one I know of, and it was a good read. The title comes from probably one of her most famous stories, about an ill fated family vacation. In fact, a lot of the stories have ill fated characters, with a few who manage to escape her weird, witchy ways. I love her sense for people's often conflicting and complicated emotions and relationships. It's possible to vastly under read her works, and not being versed in the Catholic faith, I often felt I was doing just that. But, at least the devils in her short stories are clearly visible!

O'Conner was a writer that captured the world around her, particularly xenophobia. Often times, characters are struggling with changes in social order. There is non-gratuitous use of racial slurs that may bother some readers.
