Everything That Rises Must Converge by O'connor Flannery, First Edition (54 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. Everything That Rises Must Converge (1965) is nine posthumous stories. The introduction is by Robert Fitzgerald.

Each of the nine stories it contains, carries her highly individual stamp; a quality which sets her writing apart from the work of other authors from the southern states of America. This book is a worthy memorial to what must prove to be an enduring talent' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A first impression of the first UK edition, in its original dustwrapper. The UK first edition is much scarcer than the equivalent first American edition. Despite the fact that a previous owner has used the book for study, and has made copious notes and annotations in the margins, in both ink and pencil, the book is still in a very presentable condition. The annotations may even prove useful to someone who is also studying the work of Flannery O'Connor. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
