"All Things That Rise Must Converge" is the pinnacle short story collection of Flannery O'Connor, a heavyweight American literary writer, before she bid farewell to the literary world and passed away. The eleven works included in the volume, including "All Things That Rise Must Converge" and "Festival in Partridge Town," explore issues such as faith, morality, and race that are familiar to O'Connor's readers. These stories are both sad and happy, beautiful and grotesque, and bear a strong O'Connor mark. Most of the protagonists in O'Connor's works are incompatible with their surroundings, and the contrasting effect produced reflects his writing style - in order to make the concept obvious, the writer has to use drastic means, "when encountering the hearing-impaired, he shouts; when encountering the visually-impaired, he draws the characters large and startling." O'Connor, who died of lupus at the age of thirty-nine, left behind this masterpiece that is an immortal classic in the American literary world and even the world's literary world.
