A Good Man Is Hard To Find

Published in 1953, Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find introduced many readers to the works of this Southern writer. Her stories often have grotesque, often comic situations in which the main character faces a problem of salvation: a grandmother confronting the murderous Misfit in the title story; a neglected four-year-old boy looking for the Kingdom of Christ in the fast-flowing waters of the river; General Sash about to meet his final enemy.
