Robert Fitzgerald's versions of the Iliad, the Aeneid, and the Oedipus cycle of Sophocles (with Dudley Fitts) are also classics. At his death, in 1985, he was Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard.
Author, teacher, and book reviewer. I come from a family of detectives, but I prefer my crimes to come in paperback.
@authorjesspayne Mysteries, thrillers, and spooky stories are my genre. I love reading mystery and thriller novels because I like to see if I can figure them out. The spooky stuff probably came after reading my first Flannery O’Connor story.
We publish Dutch writers in Dutch & English. We also publish new works written in English and translations of classic Dutch novels. We cover fiction & poetry.
These delicious, dark, funny and affecting #stories reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor remind us that life does not come with simple solutions and that often it is in the terrifying messiness that we are the most alive. #LiveShow, Drink Included @VickyGrut https://t.co/DKmmZkWToS https://t.co/a8KaR64OUC

Of Songs and Stories: What Bruce Springsteen Learned From Flannery O’Connor (@WarrenZanes - @thelithub) https://t.co/oBoqrnFF7s
"The current volume of posthumous stories is the work of a master, a writer's writer-- but a reader's too-- an incomparable craftsman who wrote, let it be said, some of the finest stories in our language." --Newsweek
"All in all they comprise the best collection of shorter fiction to have been published in America during the past twenty years." --Theodore Solotaroff, Book Week
"When I read Flannery O'Connor, I do not think of Hemingway, or Katherine Anne Porter, or Sartre, but rather of someone like Sophocles. What more can you say for a writer? I write her name with honor, for all the truth and all the craft with which she shows man's fall and his dishonor." --Thomas Merton
