          <body><![CDATA[Flannery O'Connor was a master of little details that place the reader squarely in the story. One can even smell the smells in virtually any scene constructed in this collection. It doesn't take long to recognize a pattern of violence in these stories, and I came to dread the inevitable shock as I g...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15274079">more...</a>]]></body>

Brokaw doesn't take sides in the resulting 40-year cultural debate and wisely qualifies this dispassionate stance by saying...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13718742">more...</a>]]></body>

Dick, for all his science fiction success, had difficulty getting his work outside the genre published, so a lot of his work set in contemporary times was released after his death.
