Ep. 26 | Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist - Fr. Damian Ference

“The truth doesn’t change according to your ability to stomach it emotionally.” So said the ingenious, straight-talking novelist Flannery O’Connor.

Damian Ference as they explore the thought of Flannery O’Connor in his powerful new book, Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist.

Just finished the compilation of her short stories. She is missed!

I'm currently reading "The Way of Being", and enjoying Flannery's dry southern wit. I have a collection of her short stories, but I feel that I'll benefit from reading them more with her voice in my head first.
