Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Selected and edited by Sally and Robert Fitzgerald. Noonday 375, 6th printing 1977. 237pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition. "At her death in 1964 Flannery O'Connor left behind a body of unpublished essays and lectures, as well as a number of critical articles that appeared in scattered publications during her lifetime. MYSTERY AND MANNERS presents selections from these two categories of her occasional prose, and is thus the first book of non-fiction by Flannery O'Connor. The contents were selected and edited by Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, whose lifelong friendship with the author originated at the start of her literary career. [] The book opens with 'The King of the Birds,' her famous account of raising peacocks at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia. There are three essays on regional writing, including 'The Fiction Writer and His Country' and 'Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction'; three on the nature and aims of fiction, including 'On Her Own Work'; two on teaching literature, including 'Total Effect and the Eighth Grade'; and four on the writer and religion, including 'The Catholic Novelist in the Protestant South.' The fourteenth and concluding piece is the long essay she wrote as an introduction to A Memoir of Mary Ann. [] Flannery O'Connor, says John Leonard in The New York Times, 'ranks with Mark Twain and Scott Fitzgerald among our finest prose-stylists. Her epigrams alone are worth the price of the book . . . which should be read by every writer and would-be writer and lover of writing.' [] 'Each piece,' writes Saul Maloff in Commonweal, 'is singular, finely wrought and deeply felt; each bears the unmistakable imprint of her mind and play of her wit; and in each--how rare this is in expository prose--there is audible always the sound of her voice speaking; never the sound of a machine clattering.'" [publisher copy] "O'Connor was not just the best 'woman writer' of her time and place; she expressed something secret about America, called 'the South,' with that transcendent gift for expressing the real spirit of a culture that is conveyed by those writers . . . who become nothing but what they see. Completeness is one word for it: relentlessness and unsparingness would be others. She was a genius."--Alfred Kazin, The New York Times Book Review. VG unmarked paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, w/the cover photo image of a handsome peacock. Quite presentable.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This bold and brilliant collection is a must for all readers, writers, and students of American literatureWhen she died in 1964, Flannery O'Connor left behind a body of unpublished essays and lectures as well as a number of critical articles that had appeared in scattered publications during her lifetime. The brilliant pieces in Mystery and Manners, selected and edited by O'Connor's lifelong friends Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, are characterized by the boldness and simplicity of her style, a fine-tuned wit, understated perspicacity, and profound faith. The book opens with 'The King of the Birds,' her famous account of raising peacocks at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia. There are three essays on regional writing, including 'The Fiction Writer and His Country' and 'Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction'; two on teaching literature, including 'Total Effect and the Eighth Grade'; and four on the writer and religion, including 'The Catholic Novel in the Protestant South.' Essays such as 'The Nature and Aim of Fiction' and 'Writing Short Stories' are gems. Their value to the contemporary reader-and writer-is inestimable.
