5.0

O'Connor's writing is, for better and worse, for those with ears to hear and she obviously had no f---s to give as far as making it easily accessible. She exposes the shadowy xenophobic tendencies of nearly every protagonist she writes and reminds all of us not only not to be too comfortable on our high horse, but that certain existential terror awaits us once we get knocked off.
