The narration is good however there are some annoying skips and weird moments where it appears that the narration changes like she stopped recording and picked back up in the middle of the passage.
I loved the foreword, it helped me analyze the stories better.
Great storytelling, brutal and philosophical

In this particular case, I think the reader has to try to separate out what Flannery O’Connor was, trying to say in her stories. As a collection, these stories deal with the American dream and the contrast with the American reality I don’t believe Ms. O’Connor is using language that she believes in or even using language to a certain effect, it is important to consider the time in which these stories were written, and also the cultural background against which they were written. I think a careful read (or listen) reveals the injustice, the prejudice and, yes, the racism that was present at the time and persists, in some forms, today.
These stories do not represent celebration of the problems, nor even ignorance of them. Instead, I think they are a reminder to all of us about the dangers of turning a blind eye to our reality, and cultivating a too- sanitized vision.
The performance of the stories is truly remarkable. The stories come alive through the performance of our reader, and perfectly embellish. What are already remarkable works of literary art
Not for everybody, but for those looking for a true time piece of American literature, this is, must reading .
