Steeped in a Southern Gothic tradition that would become synonymous with her name, these stories show O'Connor's unique view of life--infused with religious symbolism, haunted by apocalyptic possibility, sustained by the tragic comedy of human behavior, confronted by the necessity of salvation. These classic stories--including \"The Life You Save May Be Your Own,\" \"Good Country People,\" and \"The Displaced Person,\" among others, are sure to inspire future generations of fans and remind existing readers why she remains a master of the short story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFLANNERY O'CONNOR (1925-1964) was born in Savannah, Georgia.
