The idea
In "Good Country People," of nineteen fifty-five, a girl is seduced by a man who steals her artificial leg. Everything That Rises Must Converge is the second collection, published in nineteen sixty-five after her death, and The Violent Bear It Away is the novel of nineteen sixty.
In practice
A stolen leg, and a posthumous book.
Where people slip
The second collection appeared after she died.
