This is not something you read at bedtime, but I did last night. It's a dark, dismal story, and leaves you bereft of any hope in the world.

My first time reading O'Connor, and I fell in love with her writing. Dialogue synthesis, descriptions of nature, adding layers to characters is something she does brilliantly. Looking forward to reading more of her work.

JennyM I‘ve not read anything by her either - so many books!!!! 6y
vivastory I really loved her book 6y
batsy This is so brilliant and unforgettable! Read it for the first time in a class and the strange sense of menace and black humour has stayed with me. 6y

Tanisha_A @batsy Oh god, yes. I will never forget this. So awful! But the humour, it's incredible how she mixes it with that dread. 6y
Tanisha_A @vivastory Just read the blurb, sounds interesting. Stacked! Thank you for suggesting it! 6y
Tanisha_A @JennyM So manyyyyy! Such a problem to have though! 🙃 6y
cathysaid Her writing is such an excellent representation of the Southern Gothic genre. And she had such a fascinating yet tragic life as well. Imagine her as friends with Truman Capote! Makes sense now, right? 6y
Tanisha_A @cathysaid I am definitely checking out more of that genre. Thanks for telling me more about her. Hahaha! Wouldn't that be a riot?! 6y

I read this in college and it has stuck with me. This is one of the more haunting things I have read in my life. This one story did more mental damage than any King novel has ever done to me.

QuoteQueen 💚 cummings! I had a book of his works but idk what happened to it. I lent it to someone...I wonder if I ever got it back... 🤔 Happy Birthday!!! 9y
Makatma I have taught that O'Connor story. I screwed up though, and accidentally called it "A Hard Man is Good to Find." Never lived that one down... And now I am very deliberate when I say that title. 9y
mindthebook Such beautiful editions! VW for instance. ❤️🤓 9y
Lightreader @Makatma that's hilarious!! 😂😂 Freudian slip 9y
shereeleigh I own the exact three books! Also, if ever in Savannah, plan a visit to Flannery's childhood home on Lafayette Square. I hope to visit Andalusia next time through Georgia. 9y
