A review by ghadahkhalid
A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories by Flannery O'Connor

A collection of beautifully written and gripping short stories with southern gothic elements that I very much enjoyed. The stories held a mixture of bizarre, gloomy, dark, and even funny moods that rendered me clueless as to what to expect so I was mostly on the edge of my seat.

However -this is a very sad and disappointed however- I was constantly reminded of the author’s racism by her comfortable use of the n-word. And before anyone starts saying that it was written in a time when it was “okay”– her personal correspondence with friends and family proved that she was, in fact, very racist.

I feel like I’m overusing this statement, but I really don’t know how to rate this book.
