A great many people are familiar with Flannery O'Connor, and she is universally regarded as one of the best American short story writers. Her novel Wise Blood was made into a cult classic film by John Huston.

I'm not terribly familiar w/the "Southern Gothic" genre, which I think these stories fall into, but I saw that it was a glimpse into a particular area of the USA I've never really been to & a period that I will never see. Flannery O'Connor uses dialects, accents, & dialogue to create a depth of character & location that's extremely unique.
