Flannery O'Connor may now be acknowledged as the "Great American
Catholic Author," but this was not always the case. With Creating
Flannery O'Connor, Daniel Moran explains how O'Connor attained that
status, and how she felt about it, by examining the development of
her literary reputation from the perspectives of critics,
publishers, agents, adapters for other media, and contemporary
readers. Moran tells the story of O'Connor's evolving career and
the shaping of her literary identity. Drawing from the Farrar,
Straus & Giroux archives at the New York Public Library and
O'Connor's private correspondence, he also concentrates on the ways
in which Robert Giroux worked tirelessly to promote O'Connor and
change her image from that of a southern oddity to an American
author exploring universal themes. Moran traces the critical
reception in print of each of O'Connor's works, finding parallels
between her original reviewers and today's readers. He examines the
ways in which O'Connor's work was adapted for the stage and screen
and how these adaptations fostered her reputation as an artist. He
also analyses how-on reader review sites such as Goodreads-her work
is debated and discussed among "common readers" in ways very much
as it was when Wise Blood was first published in 1952.
