Flannery O’Connors Storys spielen in den Südstaaten, dem Kernland des konservativen Amerika. Mit meisterhafter Präzision entwirft sie Schauplätze und Figuren – engstirnige, selbstgerechte Provinzler, deren gottesfürchtige Existenz durch Eindringlinge gestört wird: Wie der Outlaw, der im vollen Bewusstsein seiner Niedertracht eine wehrlose Dame erschießt. Oder der Landstreicher, der die taubstumme Farmerstochter heiratet, um das Auto der Farmerin zu ergaunern. Mit unbestechlichem Blick für groteske Situationen und mit beißender Ironie legt Flannery O’Connor den Finger in Wunden ihrer Zeit, die heute wieder aufgebrochen sind: Rassismus, und eine diffuse Angst vor dem Fremden.

The inspiring devotional journal of a young Flannery O'Connor, which contains the key to her life and work

Flannery O’Connor was among the greatest American writers of the second half of the 20th century; she was a writer in the Southern tradition of Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, and Carson McCullers, who wrote such classic novels and short stories as Wise Blood, The Violent Bear It Away, and “A Good Man is Hard to Find.” She is perhaps as well known for her tantalizing brand of Southern Gothic humor as she is for her Catholicism. That these tendencies should be so happily married in her fiction is no longer a surprise. The real surprise is learning that this much beloved icon of American literature did not set out to be a fiction writer, but a cartoonist. This seems to be the last well-kept secret of her creative life.

Además de sus extraordinarios cuentos, Flannery O Connor, unas de las escritoras fundamentales del siglo XX, publicó también dos novelas excelentes, ahora reunidas, por primera vez en castellano, en este volumen. Sangre sabia, publicada en 1952, cuenta la historia de Hazel Motes quien, tras servir en el ejército, regresa al evangélico y profundo sur de los Estados Unidos. Allí empieza a librar una guerra privada contra la religiosidad de la comunidad y, en particular, contra Asa Hawkes, el predicador y su degenerada hija quinceañera. Presa de la desesperación, Hazel encuentra su propia religión, La Iglesia sin Cristo. En 1960, O Connor publicaba su segunda y última novela, Los violentos lo arrebatan, donde el huérfano Francis Marion Tarwater y su sobrino, el maestro de escuela Rayber, desafían la profecía de su difunto tío según la cual Tarwater se convertirá en profeta. A partir de entonces, Tarwater vive una íntima batalla entre su fe innata y las voces que le llaman a ser profeta, mientras Rayber trata de llevarle a un mundo más razonable y moderno. Lúcida y tormentosa, radical y sobrecogedora, la obra de Flannery O Connor constituye una de las aventuras más intensas de la literatura de todos los tiempos.
