Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925 - August 3, 1964) was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. She wrote two novels and thirty-two short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries.
She was a Southern writer who often wrote in a sardonic Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters, often in violent situations. The unsentimental acceptance or rejection of the limitations or imperfection or difference of these characters (whether attributed to disability, race, crime, religion or sanity) typically underpins the drama.[2]
Her writing reflected her Roman Catholic faith and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics. Her posthumously compiled Complete Stories won the 1972 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction and has been the subject of enduring praise.

I love her voice in literature. She doesn't mince words. Can't get any more honest than that!

I think she's the best of the southern writers; speaking as a southerner. She had a laser focused sense of human nature & conveyed it so vividly & realistically. One minute i'm laughing & the next i'm aghast.

A good writer is hard to find and she is quite a find.

I love that comment from Flannery about colleges stifling writers - "they don't stifle enough of them." Not everyone should be a writer.

There's more to it... Many bestsellers could have been prevented by a good teacher.

I love her personality. Someone once asked what’s her books about and she said: ‘ go read them and find out.’

Yes, the narrative is good, but the visuals are too repetitive. Did they have no more than three photos of Flannery?

It's not Motes that designates a mummy as a new Jesus it is Enoch and that only lasts until he shakes hands with a man in a gorilla suit.

Emily Bronte And Flannery O'Connor! The only two female authors I've ever met with the cojones (oops,excuse me!) to look at the dark side unflinchingly.Imagine if the two were combined?

she was the most anti-christian, devout catholic that ever confused the scholar of literature. the most sympathetic person imaginable. but there is no justification for her high status in american lit.

@carrington2949 Ай бұрын

You do not think she deserves her status? In short, why?

@leolacasse6278 Ай бұрын

her only statement is "I resent protestantism because I am a devout Catholic, so i will write childishly gruesome stories that few can identify with.the only good statement is her anti-christian attitude, because christianity in the U.S. is the cornerstone of our overall denial of any important issue. if we stop believing in lies and fairy tales, then we may go on and acknowledge "global warming."

are there so many irish catholics in the U.S. that this totally mixed up woman could be regarded as a writer?

@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I have heard her called racist which I found erroneous. She was a sensitive explorer. I have no idea about Wise Blood in today's culture. Sounds prescient. Beautiful belief: escape into grace. Too bad it included heaven and hell. Today most embrace a sense of Divine collective consciousness. Religion has and is a huge downfall. Now thinking of poet Denise Levertrov. I love mystical seekers who speak. Did she approach the escastic Christianity in the peacocks? And I am fine she may have finally recognized her own longing for peackcock nature.
