| Summary: | In his reflections on the writer Flannery O'Connor, the author shows the relationship between her Catholic vision and the world she depicted in her fiction. Unlike other Catholic writers, it was not the setting of O'Connor's stories but her overall point of view that defined her as a Catholic artist: the fact that she saw the world in light of such doctrines as the Fall, the Incarnation, and Redemption. Noting O'Connor's role in his own conversion to Catholicism, he makes a case for her status not simply as a great American writer, but as a modern spiritual master. |
