Some words about Flannery O’Connor on the anniversary of her birth.

I think I’ll read one of her short stories in celebration.

  1. O’Connor is my favorite 20th century fiction writer. The Violent Bear It Away and short stories such “The Lame Shall Enter First” are deep and thoughtful. She had a great taste for showcasing the depravity of human nature…and a glimmer of supernatural grace that can break into it.

  2. The first-ever substantial biography of O’Connor was just published last month–I hope I’ll have time to read and review it one of these days.
