The landscape of American literature was fundamentally changed when
Flannery O'Connor stepped onto the scene with her first published
book, Wise Blood, in 1952.Her fierce, sometimes comic novels and
stories reflected the darkly funny, vibrant, and theologically
sophisticated woman who wrote them.Brad Gooch brings to life
O'Connor's significant friendships--with Robert Lowell, Elizabeth
Hardwick, Walker Percy, and James Dickey among others--and her
deeply felt convictions, as expressed in her communications with
Thomas Merton, Elizabeth Bishop, and Betty Hester. Hester was
famously known as "A" in O'Connor's collected letters, The Habit of
Being, and a large cache of correspondence to her from O'Connor was
made available to scholars, including Brad Gooch, in 2006.
O'Connor's capacity to live fully--despite the chronic disease that
eventually confined her to her mother's farm in Georgia--is
illuminated in this engaging and authoritative biography.
