Manners, mystery, and maniacs in O'Connor's unforgettable fiction
Describing Flannery O'Connor's fiction as "violent, grotesque, and horribly funny, with a twist," Margaret Earley Whitt explores the canon of the Georgia writer whose work has long haunted and harassed its readers. In a comprehensive survey that encompasses O'Connor's short stories, novels, essays, and letters, as well as the body of criticism that has proliferated since her death in 1964, Whitt illumines the religious themes and bizarre characters that make O'Connor's prose so strikingly different from that of other American writers.
Whitt discusses the components that drive the writer's work--her southernness and her Roman Catholicism--and contends that the blend of these two enabled O'Connor to deliver orthodox Christian themes through the code of southern etiquette.
