The American South
A turbulent world, fraught with the Civil Rights struggle and toxic religious tensions. Against the backdrop of mountainous sunsets and backwater shacks, deserted highways and small-town gas stations, people forge their own lives.
Meet the Characters
We encounter:
- Murderers
- Escaped convicts
- Dysfunctional families
- Conmen
- Fanatics
- Farmhands
- Bible salesmen
- Troubled children
- Gangsters
- Hypocrites
- Misfits and outcasts
These are characters marked by grotesque flaws, darkly humorous and oddly beautiful.
Moments of Transformation
Their complex humanity is revealed in apocalyptic moments of Gothic horror, absurdity, and violence that transform all who witness them—and us, too—as we realise that nothing in our moral universe is black and white.
Flannery O'Connor
Flannery O'Connor is the supreme tragicomic chronicler of these bodies and souls, her classic stories infused with the dazzling force of prophecy as one of the century's most visionary writers.
