Isaac Asimov and Flannery O Connor are both renowned authors alive during the 20th century known specifically for their short stories. Isaac Asimov was a Russian Jew who immigrated with his family to America, while Asimov studied the sciences and actually worked as a professor of biochemistry. While he really did pursue the sciences, his science-fiction works bear a preponderance of respect as Asimovs intellectual legacy resides mostly in his literary works. While he was a particularly prolific writer who produced an exceptionally copious amount of books, around 500 including book including works which he edited, and 90,000 letters and postcards.

Despite the fact that science-fiction and Religion come very close to representing opposites to one another, A Good Man is Hard to Find and All The Troubles of The World, as previously mentioned, share many themes. Both books existing as products of the 950s quite possibly carried inspiration from the social and cultural climate of the time; primarily the questionability of human morals which grew as WWII came to an end, issues for returning veterans arrose, and the start of the Cold War which only served to multiply the questionability of humanitys morals and standards at the time. Each book tends to have themes which implicitly critique human nature, and each book contains segments where the malice actions of humans produce a rather dark result which symbolizes the climax of the story.
