Wise Blood
by Flannery O'Connor
A brilliant writer, but I’m not interested in reading any more of her work. It’s Southern gothic in style, with the ever-present threat of violence, and a constant parade of contemptible people. It is unrelentingly grim. I don’t mind serious, heavy, depressing stories, but they have to have at least a little humanity to make them bearable.
It’s like Carson McCullers without the compassion, and Charles Portis without the humour.
