Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose by Flannery O'Connor

5.0

Great to chew on, especially her essays on the short story and the novelist having to make her own meaning in an age that does not value truth. Also, that take-no-prisoners voice! The section on Catholicism sailed over my head, but I have a greater appreciation for the Southern aspects of her work and others’. And the first essay, on her life with peacocks, was again a gem.
