That's not Flannery O'Connor.

Anne Sexton was a degenerate and a worse poet than Plath
The best female writers are Flannery O’Connor and Alice Munro
Chase Hall
Best female writer is like being the bet swimmer in the special Olympics. Who gives a shit?
Adam Wilson
leguin is pretty good
Matthew Bell
Munro can’t even turn a sentence. Thoroughly minor and provincial.
Evan Baker
I read Transformations and it was okay. What should I read of her?
She has such a cool name lol I should read her.
agreed, do you have a favorite work of hers?
Jacob Hill
Munro deliberately avoids style where she can. Beckett did the same, which is why he chose to write in French.
Blake Ross
>Beckett did the same
Absolutely not lol. What blasphemy.
Cameron Martinez
You'll shut your mouth when you talk shit about Alice.

I think women usually write the finest short stories, at least in the anglosphere.
Colton Gray
Is agree. A lot of my favorite few paragraph long stories/ poems are women made.

A broad category, user. (pun unintentional)
Austin, Shelly, Bronte, Dickinson?
Ursula Le Guin, Harper Lee, Agatha Christie?
Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou?
JK Rowling, Judy Blume, Anaïs Nin
Dorothy Parker, Joan Didion?
There's as many players as are genres.
Of course, this is 4chinz.
OP could be only (master)baiting.
Ayden Nelson
Sexton sexually abused her own daughter.
Anthony Price
No-style is still a style.
Jayden Johnson
Topkek, is this b8? Like an ol switcheroo on George Elliott?
John Richardson
Nobody beats George Elliot. One of Tolstoy’s favorite authors.
Benjamin Wright
How does it feel to know that the two greatest novelists in English (Austen, Eliot) were women?
John Hernandez
Sure, (and what you say is truer in the case of Hemingway and Carver) but the purpose in avoiding style is so to keep the focus of the story on its other aspects. Style often draws attention to both itself and the author, who would make a presence of himself. In Munro's case, the focus is character and psychology, and style or flourish or what-have-you is an unnecessary distraction. (Haven't read Beckett often or well enough to speak for his choices). That's just my own size of things.
Benjamin Bailey
To add to this, style also (if it isn't at least economic and at times overbearing and bloated) can come off as cheap if it only attempts to move us rather than also being informative.
Andrew Gomez
Nice.
