El genio lcido, doloroso y atormentado de Flannery O'Connor alcanza sus ms altas cimas en el cuento, gnero que cultiv ininterrumpidamente desde sus aos de estudiante hasta su prematura y trgica muerte. Las historias de este libro hiriente y sobrecogedor tienen como escenario los pueblos y las tierras del sur de Estados Unidos, especialmente su Georgia natal, un mundo decrpito y en ruinas cuyo secular abandono y pobreza ancestral aparecen marcados por la violencia y el odio. Pero, ms all de la sordidez, los conflictos raciales, el asfixiante peso de la religin y la frustrada lucha por la libertad, hay siempre en los cuentos de Flannery O'Connor una extraa belleza, una ntima exposicin moral de la condicin humana que trasciende la ancdota. Comparada a menudo con William Faulkner o Carson McCullers, con quienes forj lo que se ha llamado el «gtico sureo , Flannery O'Connor es una de las narradoras imprescindibles de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This volume is a compilation of all of Flannery O'Connor's stories, both those published during her lifetime and others found after her death - many of them translated into Spanish here for the first time.
Flannery O'Connor's unflinching and tormented prose found its highest expression in the short story, a genre she pursued consistently from her student years until her premature and tragic death. The breathtaking and disturbing titles presented here are set in the small-town and rural US South, especially the author's home state of Georgia. It is a world in shambles, mired in poverty, where hatred and violence have taken firm hold. Yet, amid the sordidness, racial tensions, suffocating religiosity and frustrated struggle for freedom, O'Connor discovers a strange beauty. Her writing is an intimate portrayal of the human condition that transcends mere storytelling. Often compared to William Faulkner or Carson McCullers, fellow icons of the so-called "Southern Gothic" style, Flannery O'Connor ranks as one of the most important figures in twentieth-century American literature.
