- Synopsis
- This is a collection of short stories by nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors, all dealing with miracles or miraculous interventions. The sweeping range of selections interprets the miraculous in the broadest sense. Conrad Aiken's "Mr. Arcularis" has the macabre flavor of a work by Edgar Allan Poe; Mark Twain's "The Story of a Good Little Boy" and John Steinbeck's "Saint Katy the Virgin" are filled with ironic humor; Flannery O'Cponnor's "Revelation" reveals the agony of a self-satisfied woman suddenly confronted with her own failings; and William Hoffman's "The Question of Rain" deals with a small-town minister who must put his faith to the test.
