Sharp, haunting, O'Connor's prose flourishes in this collection. My favorite story is The Displaced Person--which turned out being a very useful text in a race/labor/migration discussion.

I thought the beginning was terrible and boring, but it was an excellent survival story once I got farther into the book.
