I guess she wasn't pleased to have to take the time to talk to the someone. Of course, her days were not very good due to the lupus so maybe it's understandable why she gave such a short, tart reply.
I think she's the best of the southern writers; speaking as a southerner. She had a laser focused sense of human nature & conveyed it so vividly & realistically. One minute i'm laughing & the next i'm aghast.
Emily Bronte And Flannery O'Connor! The only two female authors I've ever met with the cojones (oops,excuse me!) to look at the dark side unflinchingly.Imagine if the two were combined?
she was the most anti-christian, devout catholic that ever confused the scholar of literature. the most sympathetic person imaginable. but there is no justification for her high status in american lit.
her only statement is "I resent protestantism because I am a devout Catholic, so i will write childishly gruesome stories that few can identify with.the only good statement is her anti-christian attitude, because christianity in the U.S. is the cornerstone of our overall denial of any important issue. if we stop believing in lies and fairy tales, then we may go on and acknowledge "global warming."
Interesting. I have heard her called racist which I found erroneous. She was a sensitive explorer. I have no idea about Wise Blood in today's culture. Sounds prescient. Beautiful belief: escape into grace. Too bad it included heaven and hell. Today most embrace a sense of Divine collective consciousness. Religion has and is a huge downfall. Now thinking of poet Denise Levertrov. I love mystical seekers who speak. Did she approach the escastic Christianity in the peacocks? And I am fine she may have finally recognized her own longing for peackcock nature.
I love her personality. Someone once asked what’s her books about and she said: ‘ go read them and find out.’

I love her voice in literature. She doesn't mince words. Can't get any more honest than that!
Her awareness of life, people and community are astounding. Her words are immortal.
My favorite author, hands down!

I love that comment from Flannery about colleges stifling writers - "they don't stifle enough of them." Not everyone should be a writer.
A good writer is hard to find and she is quite a find.
This is excellent!
I am a writer and O’Connor buff. This is a first-rate job. Thanks.
Good narrative. Thank you.
Thank you
I love this channel.
Your newest subscriber-for-life thanks you for your channel and succinct insights.
You're welcome!
She is far better than the others
Note: Lupus is still incurable. I lost my aunt to complications from it in 2007.
Music is annoying
I would love to know her prayers.
LUPUS IS STILL UNCURABLE!!
It's not Motes that designates a mummy as a new Jesus it is Enoch and that only lasts until he shakes hands with a man in a gorilla suit.
Shake hands with Gonga!
Congo!
What a scene
Wise Blood is the foundation for to kill a mocking Bird?
Anderson Karen Lewis Jose White Donald
She's a great human inspiration despite the current "cancel culture" of Liliputians.
I never felt it but have heard her called a racist.i found her work compassionate observation.
Bull in Greenleaf = Jesus in Korea
HKY
Meaning what?
Her fans include one Bruce Springsteen
Not two?
A "southern" writer? You mean of the best the US has produced?
If she had been a man she would have been canceled, like Sidney Lanier.

You do not think she deserves her status? In short, why?
her only statement is "I resent protestantism because I am a devout Catholic, so i will write childishly gruesome stories that few can identify with.the only good statement is her anti-christian attitude, because christianity in the U.S. is the cornerstone of our overall denial of any important issue. if we stop believing in lies and fairy tales, then we may go on and acknowledge "global warming."
are there so many irish catholics in the U.S. that this totally mixed up woman could be regarded as a writer?
Maybe you should stick to Hunger Games or John Green teen stuff. That might be more your intellectual speed.
@@brianwinters9995 you are irish catholic.

Does dressing come with that word salad?
@@b.deville3236 😂😂😂
I never shared her beliefs. So unique and bizarrely dark I found her. To short a life.
Too?
