书籍简介

《费伯故事集》是一套具有里程碑意义的单本作品集，其中收录了众多短篇小说大师的作品，涵盖了各种不同的体裁和风格。

一家人驾车前往美国南部旅行。奶奶提议改变路线，以避开“那个逃犯”，据说他正朝着佛罗里达州进发。但当他们的车陷在沟里无法动弹时，他们应该向谁呼救呢？竟然是那个他们从报纸上认出的家伙……

弗兰纳里·奥康纳那部著名的五十年代作品描绘了炽热的尘土、家庭关系、争斗、上帝与恩典等元素，并且其情节极其残酷，毫无妥协余地。

在我们九十岁这个特殊年份里，弗伯故事集将过去、现在和未来完美融合，它是一本充满纪念意义的精选作品集。

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

A family sets out on a road trip in the American South. The grandmother suggests they change course in order to avoid “The Misfit”, an escaped convict who’s reportedly heading towards Florida. But when their car turns over in a ditch, who should they flag down for help but the very man whose picture they recognise from the paper . . .

Flannery O’Connor’s famous fifties story evokes heat and dust, family and feuding, God and grace – and is utterly uncompromising in its brutality.

Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

作者简介

弗兰纳里·奥康纳于 1925 年出生在佐治亚州的萨凡纳，她是天主教家庭的独生女。1945 年，她进入佐治亚州女子州立学院学习。毕业后，她继续在爱荷华大学的写作项目中深造，并且在还是一名学生的时候就创作出了她的第一篇发表作品《天竺葵》。她的作品以对宗教主题和南方种族问题的探索以及将喜剧与悲剧相结合而著称。大学毕业后，她搬到了纽约继续写作。1952 年，她得知自己患上了狼疮，这是一种曾折磨她父亲的疾病。此后，她和母亲一直住在佐治亚州米利吉维尔郊外的安达卢西亚家族奶牛场。为了消遣，她养了孔雀、野鸡、天鹅、鹅、鸡和美洲鸭。她还是一位出色的业余画家。1964 年夏天，她去世了。

Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1925, the only child of Catholic parents. In 1945 she enrolled at the Georgia State College for Women. After earning her degree she continued her studies on the University of Iowa's writing program, and her first published story, 'The Geranium', was written while she was still a student. Her writing is best-known for its explorations of religious themes and southern racial issues, and for combining the comic with the tragic. After university, she moved to New York where she continued to write. In 1952 she learned that she was dying of lupus, a disease which had afflicted her father. For the rest of her life, she and her mother lived on the family dairy farm, Andalusia, outside Millidgeville, Georgia. For pleasure she raised peacocks, pheasants, swans, geese, chickens and Muscovy ducks. She was a good amateur painter. She died in the summer of 1964.
