About This Novel

This book is O'Connor's most famous short story collection. It was published one year after the writer's death and is known as O'Connor's "Swan Song". It contains ten classic stories. The writer's outstanding short story skills and his core concepts of belief and creation are concentrated in this book. Those phantoms and illusions that obscure reality in the world, the sad and paranoid, arrogant and ignorant, horrifying and violent pairs of mother and son, father and son, father and daughter, grandparents, and couples in the daily life of the South - these people who try to let their voices penetrate the caves of other people's souls, people who seek to make up for their own deformities on the pretext of saving others - are all covered with wounds under the author's poisonous eyes, and all end up with the instant collapse and cruel destruction of their spirits or lives. O'Connor's calm and cruel style reaches its peak in the process of disenchanting these racial beliefs and human moral superiority. The collection "Greenleaf", "Apocalypse" and "All Things Rising Must Converge" won the O. Henry Short Story Award.
