>>25193843I always think that was Dorothy Killgallen when i see it posted, who I always thought was a dish. What have they done to beautiful Irish women? and Why is this awful, strange, & unusual [and perhaps AI generated?!?!] portrait the first result when i Google search Flannery O Connor.
>>25193843Love O'Connor. Here's some things to keep in mind that might help -- -She watched her father die a slow, agonizing death from lupus. He passed when she was 12. There was no treatment, and she would lie awake in bed listening to him scream. -She left Georgia to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop. On her first day her instructor asked her to write down everything she wanted to say because he couldn't understand her accent. O'Connor felt humiliated and rarely spoke in class. -Years later, an interviewer asked her if universities stifled young writers. She said they didn't stifle enough of them.-She believed that her best work was the result of God speaking through her.-A few years after graduating from Iowa, she was diagnosed with lupus. Initially her mother hid the diagnosis from her out of fear for her mental stability. By this time corticosteroids had been invented, which would buy her a few more decades, but left her weak and ill most of the time. She had to leave Iowa so her mother could be her caretaker in Georgia. -We're not sure if she ever so much as kissed a man. -Her lupus progressed to the point where she couldn't walk without crutches. Despite this, she hobbled a mile and a half to Mass every morning, then hobbled a mile and a half back. Walking more than a half mile was intensely painful for her. -She considered herself a comic writer, and didn't like being called a tragic one.-She said that all her stories were about her characters being confronted with the terrible grace of God.

>>25193843I bought her LOA collection and it was some of the most fun I've ever had reading a book. Kinda fell in love with her.
>>25193843One of my favorite writers, and along with Willa Cather one of the two great woman authors of America (I like Wharton as well but she is at least one tier down from them). By and large O'Connor's message is that we are saved only through grace, and pretending otherwise is both ugly and ultimately hilarious.>>25194330 is a very good post as well.
