Everything That Rises Must Converge
#2712 of 8,085 books · #1215 in Fiction
Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Fiction (1966).
Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.
