Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964)
Flannery O'Connor is considered one of America's greatest fiction writers and
one of the strongest apologists
for Roman Catholicism in the twentieth
century. Born of the marriage of two of Georgia's oldest Catholic families,
O'Connor was a devout believer whose small but impressive body of fiction
presents the soul's struggle with what she called the "stinking
mad shadow of Jesus."
