Editor's Preface
The volumes of Understanding Contemporary American Literature have been planned as guides or companions for students as well as good nonacademic readers. The editor and publisher perceive a need for these volumes because much of the influential contemporary literature makes special demands. Uninitiated readers encounter difficulty in approaching works that depart from the traditional forms and techniques of prose and poetry. Literature relies on conventions, but the conventions keep evolving; new writers form their own conventions-which in time may become familiar. Put simply, UCAL provides instruction in how to read certain contemporary writersidentifying and explicating their material, themes, use of language, point of view, structures, symbolism, and responses to experience.
The word understanding in the titles was deliberately chosen. Many willing readers lack an adequate understanding of how contemporary literature works; that is, what the author is attempting to express and the means by which it is conveyed. Although the criticism and analysis in the series have been aimed at a level of general accessibility, these introductory volumes are meant to be applied in conjunction with the works they cover. They do not provide a substitute for the works and authors they introduce, but rather prepare the reader for more profitable literary experiences.

Through the years, my ongoing talks with Sarah Gordon have provided me with a deepened insight to O'Connor's work and life in Milledgeville, Georgia.
