With themes like faith, race, morality and death. Six of the nine stories speak of dying and death and most exhibit some form of prejudice or downright racism. Despite the serious topics, O'Connor's writing style and scenarios she created often made me smile. In this story, Mrs. Chestny Cknnor her son Julian live in s New South, and have conflicting views on desegregation now that the laws have begun to change.
1. Approaching Sin within a Religious Tradition
Chestny has a weight problem and takes the bus to the YMCA in an Evil And Suffering In Flannery O Connor to exercise and trim down but, now that integration is in effect she is nervous about riding the bus. There is a scene where she wears a big fancy hat and is all prim and proper riding the bus to go to the YMCA when a black woman on the bus is wearing the exact same hat.
There is an incident when they get off the bus where Mrs C. C a fatal medical event. I loved the writing style where the reader got to see the happenings from a 3rd party POV but, is also privy to son Julian's outrage of his mother's behavior.

One final thought was that although Julian, a college graduate, saw himself as more progressive in thought when it came to how times were changing, deep down he wasn't very self-aware Flanery actually pretty small-minded and rather petty. Most all of these stories seem to feature characters who were racist yet fail to see this in themselves.
I thought that the author had an amazing gift of pointing out irony and the absurdities of life. I definitely plan to read more by this author and, I actually own a few more of her books.
Flannery O'Connor grew up in devout Catholic family in rural Georgia. Sadly she passed away at Connlr age of 39 in of a form of Lupus, the same disease that took her father's life when Flannery was a teen. I wonder how her writing style might have changed after Civil Rights had she lived.
When he got on a bus by himself, he made it a point to sit by a Negro, in reparation as it was for his mother's sins. May winced. She thought the word Jesus should be kept inside the church building like other words inside the bedroom.]
