One – The collected letters of Flannery O’Connor, edited by Sally Fitzgerald, in The Habit of Being: they’ve been on my bookshelves for a couple of decades.
Two – I’ve been amazed by both how many readers have never heard of Flannery O’Connor and also by how many books about her are in the public library.
Three – O’Connor’s religiosity is inescapable.
Four – Joyce Carol Oates considers Flannery O’Connor in the context of her southern contemporaries.
