This complete volume of The Complete Stories affirms Flannery O’Connor’s place among the most powerful voices in American literature.
Winner of the National Book Award, it brings together all thirty-one of her stories, arranged chronologically to trace the arc of her remarkable career. From her earliest work, The Geranium, to her final and transformed Judgement Day, O’Connor’s writing reveals a deep, often unsettling confrontation with sin, grace, and the mystery of redemption.
Twelve stories not included in her lifetime collections appear here, offering new insight into her evolving craft and vision. Her characters—complex, wounded, and yearning—embody the paradox of fallen humanity in need of divine mercy.
With an introduction by her longtime editor and friend Robert Giroux, this collection stands as a testament to O’Connor’s genius: her piercing moral clarity, dark wit, and unwavering Catholic imagination.
