ISBN: 8601417341605.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A Good Man Is Hard to Find\" is Flannery OConnors most famous and most discussed story. OConnor herself singled it out by making it the title piece of her first collection and the story she most often chose for readings or talks to students. It is an unforgettable tale, both riveting and comic, of the confrontation of a family with violence and sudden death. More than anything else OConnor ever wrote, this story mixes the comedy, violence, and religious concerns that characterize her fiction.\nThis casebook for the story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the authors life, the authoritative text of the story itself, comments and letters by OConnor about the story, critical essays, and a bibliography. The critical essays span more than twenty years of commentary and suggest several approaches to the story--formalistic, thematic, deconstructionist-- all within the grasp of the undergraduate, while the introduction also points interested students toward still other resources. Useful for both beginning and advanced students, this casebook provides an in-depth introduction to one of Americas most gifted modern writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964332929077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813519772","price":27.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813519777_ef57d00a-d63c-4fa5-9d4c-c1383f1e5d11.jpg?v=1778632569","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-good-man-is-hard-to-find-flannery-oconnor-women-writers-texts-and-contexts-8601417341605","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
