A review by jacquelinegurliaccio
Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor
5.0
I knew that since this was Flannery O’Connor that it would be a character-driven and philosophical read. I kinda tried to start reading it a few years ago but didn’t get past the first chapter. This time, I picked it up after several of my students chose to read it for their lit circles.
Published in 1952, this was O’Connor’s first published novel and it is genius. It is satirical and an amazing story that gives the reader an insight into post-WWII rural Southern life. The characters are raw and tragic.
