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. The blend of these two
enabled her to deliver orthodox Christian themes through the code
of southern etiquette.
