Has anyone read Flannery O'Connor? My local library had

Flannery O'Connor is one of the greatest American writers.
A Good Man is Hard to Find is very good. It's funny and yet incredibly dark.

Her Complete Stories is the way to go, her collection Everything that Rises Must Converge is GOAT, and her novel Wise Blood is great Southern Gothic, although not in our southern goth trilogy

Flan Flan is /lit/'s queen mom. This has been established for many years.

>I thought about picking up "The Complete Stories" off of Amazon.

just do it. she's one of the best short story writers ever.

>>8351805
I think wise blood is the best thing she's ever done...and this includes her short stories. it's her masterpiece.

Flannery o'Conmnmor's face looks like a pug dog face

This is true, and also her stories are dog shit, with the exception of A Good Man and The Geranium.

>>8351764
Do it. Pick up her comics, too, if you see them.

>her stories are dog shit

>>8352411

>Says the edgy contrarian

>has /lit/ read flannery o'connor
gee idk

>>8352197
she joked about having a receding chin and a feral face

>>8354672
Yes, a lot of anons recently picked her up.

>>8355342
Nothing says feral like 50's women's glasses.

>>8352197
She was hot in her 20s, this pic not so much.

>>8355437
Lupus and the associated medications fucked her up

>>8355809
I know she was sick for the most of her life, but nothing beyond that.

A Good Man is objectively boring. Stop lying, OP. You're going to waste some poor NEET's valuble time.

Maybe it was thrilling back when people didn't kill each other in books.

>>8355864
You didn't understand the story lmao

They've always killed each other in books. You remember the Iliad?

>the Iliad is a book

she basically BTFOs the idea that women can't write

>>8355984

But she writes like a man....so the theory still stands.
