Books by Robert (Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities) Coles

Originally published in 1969, the documentary evidence of poverty and malnutrition in the American South showcased in Still Hungry in America still resonates today. Robert Coles's powerful narrative, reinforced by heartbreaking interviews with impoverished people and accompanied by 101 photographs convey the plight of the millions of hungry citizens in the most affluent nation on earth.

Offers a literary and philosophical analysis of Flannery O'Connor's life and literature. It draws upon Robert Coles's personal experiences in the South during the civil rights movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, his brief acquaintance with the writer herself, and readings of her works.
