Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose by Sally Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Robert Fitzgerald
4.0
I love Flannery's writing.
These essays were pretty interesting and I think Flannery had some smoking insight, but I do think she (in these essays, anyway) sometimes became somewhat myopic. She, at points, seemed to set in stone her preferences for writing/stories, and thereby seemed to dismiss other forms of writing/stories. Maybe I'm misunderstanding her, but that's what it seemed like to me.
But I love the realities she saw and the way in which she went about trying to help others see.
