Collected Stories of Frank O’Connor
Collected Stories is a collection of 67 of Frank O’Connor’s best-known short stories, first published in 1981. The introduction to the collection was written by celebrated literary critic Richard Ellmann. O’Connor expert Michael A. Steinman has pointed out that this collection is really “more ‘selected’ than ‘collected’” since “it [only] contains one-third of O’Connor’s stories”.
