There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--<i>Everything That Rises Must Converge </i>and <i>A Good Man Is Hard to Find</i>. <br><br>O'Connor published her first story, "The Geranium," in 1946, while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, "Judgement Day"--sent to her publisher shortly before her death&#8212;is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of "The Geranium." Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux.<br> 886814 1971 The Complete Stories total:3691|5:66|4:38|3:14|2:1|1:1| 3691 16747 5204 366 3 3 false false Thu May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 18:55:32 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 22:25:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Sep 29 14:29:47 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 14:47:34 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Jan 28 20:44:52 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 20:46:18 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 3 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu May 08 08:01:58 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 08:01:58 -0700 2008
