Flannery O'Connor's achievement is all the more remarkable?not to say miraculous ?because of her meager literary output. She was just 39 years old when she died five years ago. Incurably ill from the age of 26, she had only been able to publish two short novels (Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away) and a single collection of short stories (A Good Man Is Hard...
