The Complete Stories (Flannery O'Connor)

I love a short story collection for summer reading, and I've become a big fan of Flannery O'Connor lately. If you resonate with the tone of David Lynch or the Coen Brothers, or if you have a certain ironic, dark sense of humor and an appreciation for the uncanny, I highly recommend her work. I picked up this edition with a great foreword by Hilton Als that really helps contextualize her work before you dive in (it can be uncomfortable to read Southern literature from this era…) and introduces you to what an interesting character she was.
