The prose of outstanding American writer Flannery O’Connor follows the tradition of the American South—she is marked by a commitment to Gothic and the grotesque, a tense racial confrontation and moral problems, and a sharp sense of the tragedy of existence. And although the tone of her fiction may seem hopeless, grace, in the view of the Catholic writer, can transform even someone who doesn’t notice it. Her texts work not only at the level of reading and understanding—but deep within the heart, therapeutically. This audiobook includes selected stories in translations by Leonid Motylev, most of which are being published for the first time.
