A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by American author Flannery O'Connor. The collection was first published in 1955 by Harcourt, Brace and Company. The subjects of the stories range from baptism ("The River") to serial killers ("A Good Man Is Hard to Find") to human greed and exploitation ("The Life You Save May Be Your Own"), although O'Connor described the ten-story collection as "nine stories about original sin, with my compliments". The majority of the stories include jarring violent scenes that make the characters undergo a spiritual change. Influenced by O'Connor's Catholicism, the stories frequently complicate Catholic morals through life-or-death scenarios.
