Another great short story collection. The title story is the first one and the ironic title makes it easy to believe you could find a better man than the one in the story. O'Connor is great at making everyday people become frightening in her stories. This book was originally published in 1955 and several of the stories pre-date that year. These are not for those who get offended at non-PC language or ideas about race or sex. They are truly stories of their time and each a short little masterpiece.
This is the second Flannery O'Connor book that I listened to from our downloadable audio collection. I can't praise the reader, Marguerite Gavin,enough. She really does a fabulous job with accents and differentiating characters. I think the stories themselves were much better for me in the excellent hands of this reader.
