Flannery O'Connor: Spiritual Writings by Flannery O'Connor

4.0

This book smacked me upside the head, so to speak. I had not read any of Flannery O'Connor's work, so I was unfamiliar with the themes but knew she was a fellow southerner and a devout Catholic. Her letters show so much wisdom, tempered with a good helping of sass. Her defenses of the faith are both raw and intellectual. This collection also includes excerpts from some of her novels and short stories, so if you are hoping to read those as well there are significant spoilers here. Her writing gave me a lot to think about and I can't wait to read more of her work.
