Thirty-one savage tales comprise Flannery O’Connor’s The Complete Stories. Nine of them appeared in 1956’s A Good Man is Hard to Find, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and was the only story collection that O’Connor published in her brief lifetime. Twelve of those in The Complete Stories had not been collected in book form before. In language that O’Connor might have appreciated, The Complete Stories is a revelation. These are stories with dark edges and beating hearts, sharp social satire and humor, a sense for ghosts and destabilized spaces. This is no less than essential re-reading for writers and lovers of literature. Arranged chronologically, we see the path of the storyteller’s mind laid out before us. We see a mind on fire, from O’Connor’s first published tale (“The Geranium,” 1946) through the much-anthologized stories of murderous Misfits and stolen wooden legs, and on to the last pages that she mailed to her publisher shortly before her death (“Judgment Day,” 1964, which happens to be a transfiguration of “The Geranium”). As a complete testament to O’Connor’s life work, this collection is cut as hard and as many-sided as a diamond. And yet, alongside her vaulting vision, O’Connor is unusually attentive to the physical. It has perhaps gone out of fashion for fiction writers to give so much space to the way a character rolls tobacco and hangs a cigarette on his upper lip, or a toothless woman gumming seeds during dusk on her splintered front porch. But it is through such penetrating and constant sight on the dirty fingernails of human life that O’Connor’s fiction transcends. A passionate Catholic, O’Connor believed in the holy mystery of the Eucharist in which bread becomes Jesus Christ’s body, and wine, Christ’s blood. That is, the Eucharist is the fusing of the profane and the sacred, the communion of the physical world and the divine. O’Connor’s thirty-one stories are just such a communion.
