Flannery O'Connor's ability to realistically interpret the world around her is incomparable. She writes the Negro dialect as if she spoke it herself, and portrays southern speech patterns easily and fluidly with such flair there is never a misunderstanding of the meanings. In some instances, the author writes phonetically (i.e., "sommo powder," meaning some more powder in "The Barber"), but her meaning is always natural and clear.
