Nearly half the authors are women. Content reflects the experience of WW II.

I believe it is generally wrong to criticize authors as minor, e.g., Shirley Ann Grau was a 1965 Pulitzer Prize winner.

I completely missed the subtlety in Flannery O'Connor's story, The River. Nonetheless, I found the story's construction awkward. It's unclear why a strange woman shows up to take the small boy to a revival.

I found The Trial of Mr. M by Louis Auchincloss enigmatic in its treatment of racism in the 1950s. The narrative is representative of the racist attitudes of the 50's, but I'm unclear about what point Auchencloss is trying to make.
