Flannery O'Connor

» pamela_saint - Flannery

Hi Megan,

I've always been a fan of that trio--Welty, O'Connor, and McCullers. I had no idea that like McCullers, Flannery O'Connor died young, too.

For me, part of the charm of all three writers is in their characterizatoins. The more peculiar the characters these women create, the more real, paradoxically, the characters seem.

» Dhalgren13 - Wise Blood

Of the many novels I've read, Wise Blood was perhaps one of the most masterly in craft, and disturbing and insightful in content. Flannery O'Conner was a writer to be respected and envied in all ways, and it is unfortunate that the world lost her at such a young age, who knows what she would have gone on to do. Thanks for this wonderful article, and for keeping people interested in this amazing author's work.
