5.0 out of 5 stars Part of the 'LOST' bookclub, 25 Jul 2009
By The Slim Reaper (london) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Everything That Rises Must Converge (Paperback)
Yes, I bought this book because it was referenced in the TV show 'Lost'.

My heart sank when it arrived. It's a collection of the author's 'classic American short stories', written in the 1950s and 1960s. The 'classic American short story' is a genre I absolutely can't abide. I loathe it. And there was no clue in Lost as to which of the stories Jacob was actually reading... I decided to just read the damn thing until I got to the right one.

I'm so glad I did. Right from the start I found it was no chore to read every story in this book. These stories were compelling, moving and most of all they subtly suggested questions to the reader which can never be answered, just contemplated. Once I found what I believe is the Lost reference, I happily continued reading to the end of the book. Although I'll never be a fan of the genre, I'll defibately be reading more of Flannery O'Connor's work.

It seems unfair to leave the name of the short story I believe is the Lost reference here in this review. I don't want to risk spoiling the discovery for anyone. But incase anyone wants the name, to save them reading the book, I'll leave it as a comment against this review.
