A review by elvedon_waves
Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor

4.0

Has some structural issues (late middle to last quarter) that makes it a drag sometimes. But the characters of Enoch and Hazel are so complex, funny, tragic and child-like in their pursuit of spiritual awakening that you grow attached to them. The last three chapters were especially riveting in their description of Mote’s demise. Ending the novel with a zen-like refusal of the natural world. Good first dip into O’Connor!
