This is not something you read at bedtime, but I did last night. It's a dark, dismal story, and leaves you bereft of any hope in the world.
My first time reading O'Connor, and I fell in love with her writing. Dialogue synthesis, descriptions of nature, adding layers to characters is something she does brilliantly. Looking forward to reading more of her work.
JennyM I‘ve not read anything by her either - so many books!!!! 5y

Wise Blood: A Novel 5y
Wise Blood: A Novelbatsy This is so brilliant and unforgettable! Read it for the first time in a class and the strange sense of menace and black humour has stayed with me. 5y

Tanisha_A @batsy Oh god, yes. I will never forget this. So awful! But the humour, it's incredible how she mixes it with that dread. 5y
Tanisha_A @vivastory Just read the blurb, sounds interesting. Stacked! Thank you for suggesting it! 5y
Tanisha_A @JennyM So manyyyyy! Such a problem to have though! 🙃 5y
cathysaid Her writing is such an excellent representation of the Southern Gothic genre. And she had such a fascinating yet tragic life as well. Imagine her as friends with Truman Capote! Makes sense now, right? 5y
Tanisha_A @cathysaid I am definitely checking out more of that genre. Thanks for telling me more about her. Hahaha! Wouldn't that be a riot?! 5y
