A Circle in the Fire and Other Stories by Flannery O'Connor. Frontispiece and 10 black & white illustrations by Deanna Staffo. Introduced by C. E. Morgan. Bound in cloth blocked with a design by Deanna Staffo. 368pp. 9½x6¼. In ‘The Lame Shall Enter First’, one of the unforgettable stories in this collection, a widower realises that the charity of which he has been so indignantly proud was but a means of stifling his grief. The violent epiphany that seizes him comes too late – the tragedies wrought by self-delusion and hubris may, finally, be understood, but they may not always be repaired. This is the central theme of Flannery O’Connor’s coruscating, plain-speaking fiction: the painful, necessary salvation that emerges from catastrophic, life-changing, and sometimes life-ending, events.
