Wonderful! O'Connor was not just an outstanding Southern writer or female writer or American writer, etc. She was an outstanding writer, and that's all that need be said.
The Library of America put out a Flannery O'Connor volume a few years ago. It contains both novels, all the short stories (including the early ones from her Iowa years) as well as a generous selection of her essays and (best of all) her letters. So many of these are laugh-out-loud funny that they're worth the price of the book all by themselves.
