Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's first novel, is the story of Hazel
Motes who, released from the armed services, returns to the
evangelical Deep South. There he begins a private battle against
the religiosity of the community and in particular against Asa
Hawkes, the 'blind' preacher, and his degenerate fifteen-year-old
daughter. In desperation Hazel founds his own religion, 'The Church
without Christ', and this extraordinary narrative moves towards its
savage and macabre resolution. 'A literary talent that has about it
the uniqueness of greatness.' Sunday Telegraph 'No other major
American writer of our century has constructed a fictional world so
energetically and forthrightly charged by religious investigation.'
The New Yorker 'A genius.' New York Times
