New Essays on Wise Blood

By: Kreyling, Michael

Book Overview

These new critical essays on Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's explosive first novel, not only question our understanding of the Southern Gothic, but launch a new inquiry into the nature and history of O'Connor's critical reputation. Perceived as a classic American writer despite the double setbacks of being a woman and a twentieth-century author, O'Connor continues to speak with striking clarity and disturbing vision to successive generations.
