“[This] collection of essays and selected data on Miss O’Connor offers some of the most astute explications of her work thus far. The Added Dimension is indeed an omnium gatherum of critical opinion…[It is] a book that is already providing a foundation for Flannery O’Connor scholarship. Professors Friedman and Lawson have handsomely demonstrated why Miss O’Connor is today being heralded as one of America’s finest short story writers.
The ten essays printed here give a well-rounded picture of Miss O’Connor’s contribution to fiction…
This is a book that reflects the constantly growing interest in the writings of the late Flannery O’Connor. In sput of her earth death, Miss O’Connor left a body of work that rewards the closest critical scrutiny, and here we find examinations of that work from a variety of points of view [in] several excellent interpretations and evaluations. It is a major contribution to the understanding and appreciation of Flannery O’Connor’s work, valuable for all readers and indispensable for students. I recommend the volume not only to admirers of Miss O’Connor but to all students of contemporary American fiction.---Granville Hicks
