"All Things That Rise Must Converge" is the masterpiece of short stories by the famous American writer Flannery O'Connor, and it is also the last collection of short stories. It was published one year after his death. This book collects more than a dozen of O'Connor's representative short stories, covering multiple themes such as race, religion, and redemption. It continues the previous grotesque, weird, and gloomy writing style. It unfolds dark scenes in calm dialogues and narratives, dissects and elucidates the subtleties of human nature, and the endings are often surprising, rich in symbolic meaning, and thought-provoking.

Flannery O'Connor, an icon of American literature, the most outstanding writer in the American South after Faulkner, and the author of "A Good Man is Hard to Find", is among the "100 Greatest Novels" selected by The Guardian. The novel is set in a city called Tokingham in Tennessee in the mid-20th century. It describes the protagonist Hazel Motz's attempt to eradicate the influence of Jesus on him, and embarks on a path of spiritual disillusionment mixed with sadness and joy.
