"A Good Man Is Hard to Find" is Flannery O'Connor's most famous and most discussed story. O'Connor herself singled it out by making it the title piece of her first collection and the story she most often chose for readings or talks to students. It is an unforgettable tale, both riveting and comic, of the confrontation of a family with violence and sudden death. More than anything else O'Connor ever wrote, this story mixes the comedy, violence, and religious concerns that characterize her fiction. This casebook for the story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the author's life, the authoritative text of the story itself, comments and letters by O'Connor about the story, critical essays, and a bibliography. The critical essays span more than twenty years of commentary and suggest several approaches to the story--formalistic, thematic, deconstructionist-- all within the grasp of the undergraduate, while the introduction also points interested students toward still other resources. Useful for both beginning and advanced students, this casebook provides an in-depth introduction to one of America's most gifted modern writers. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I hadn't read anything by Flannery O'Connor in a couple years, and remembering how much I liked Wise Blood, I figured it was time to get back into her. What I'd forgotten is just how brutal her writing can become out of absolutely nowhere, like it does in A Good Man Is Hard to Find as a family travels to Florida for the weekend. I guess her writing reflects how life works; when you get hit by a bus in the real world, you aren't given three or four pages of buildup.
I don't know whether I really like O'Connor because she's great or just because she's basically the only Southern Gothic writer I've read, but for a lady with lupus, she really packs a punch. ( )
