Answer:
This story may well be one of O'Connor's most humorous stories. Even though the story as it now stands appears to focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain an advantage over the other, O'Connor, through the use of color imagery and somewhat obvious symbolism, manages to make the story more than merely a humorous tale. Yet it is the humor, ultimately, which first catches the attention of most readers.
Some of O'Connor's humor is similar, at least in part, to the tradition of such Old Southwest humorists (1835-1860) as Johnson J. Hooper and George W. Harris. Hooper's Simon Suggs and Harris' Sut Lovingood are both similar to O'Connor's Shiftlet. This is especially true in Shiftlet's "swapping session" scenes with Mrs. Crater. These swapping session scenes are also reminiscent of the Armsted-Snopes exchanges in the fiction of William Faulkner. Each of the major characters in O'Connor's story is aware that he, or she, has something that someone else craves, which slowly increases the apparent value of the offer until the final bargain is struck.
In a "Granny and the Golden Bridge"
Claribel Alegria's Granny and the Golden Bridge is set against the backdrop of the civil war El Salvador in the 1980s.
In it, Manuel tells a story about his insane grandmother, an vivacious old woman who spends all day cooking to regale the government troops stationed around the Golden Bridge. The bridge is latterly blown up by rebels, and it is expose that they had received intelligence about the bridge's cover from Manuel's Grandmother. She dress up herself as a brothel-owner to escape capture, and the last image of her. In the story is when she is paddling a canoe upriver, carrying munitions for the rebel forces.
Jack Aqueroses's "Agua Viva; a Sculpture by Alfred Gozalez; tells the story of Fifty Fredo, a mentally disturbed hermit who control scrap metal and hasn't shaved or bathed in fives years. Aqueros uses long, run-on sentences to convey Fredo's manic, compulsive inner world, a world as impenetrable as the scrap iron creations he builds in his workshop. A violent encounter with some neighborhood boys is his first human contact of any kind in years, and it seems to be the first step towards returning to society.
