I read about 3/4 of the stories, skipping the ones that were too racist and n-word using. Parker's Back and The Enduring Chill were my favorites. O'Connor doesn't present likable protagonists or simple scenarios, and I definitely didn't grow up Catholic. What writing of hers I appreciate I do so whole heartedly.
