paperback. Condition: New. First. About the AuthorFlannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925. When she died at the age of thirty-nine, America lost one of its most gifted writers at the height of her powers. O'Connor wrote two novels, Wise Blood (1952) and The Violent Bear It Away (1960), and two story collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find (1955) and Everything That Rises Must Converge (1964). Her Complete Stories, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year, and in a 2009 online poll it was voted as the best book to have won the award in the contest's 60-year history. Her essays were published in Mystery and Manners (1969) and her letters in The Habit of Being (1979). In 1988 the Library of America published her Collected Works; she was the first postwar writer to be so honored. O'Connor was educated at the Georgia State College for Women, studied writing at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and wrote much of Wise Blood at the Yaddo artists' colony in upstate New York. She lived most of her adult life on her family's ancestral farm, Andalusia, outside Milledgeville, Georgia.Product DescriptionA brilliant, innovative novel, acutely alert to where the sacred lives-and where it does notFirst published in 1960, The Violent Bear It Away is a landmark in American literature-a dark and absorbing example of the Gothic sensibility and bracing satirical voice that are united in Flannery O'Connor's work.In this, O'Connor's second novel, the orphaned Francis Marion Tarwater and his cousin, the schoolteacher Rayber, defy the prophecy of their dead uncle that Tarwater will become a prophet and baptize Rayber's young son, Bishop. A series of struggles ensues, as Tarwater fights an internal battle against his innate faith and the voices calling him to be a prophet while Rayber tries to draw Tarwater into a more "reasonable" modern world. Both wrestle with the legacy of their dead relative and lay claim to Bishop's soul. All this is observed by O'Connor with an astonishing combination of irony and compassion, humor and pathos.Review"I am sure her books will live on and on in American Literature" -Elizabeth Bishop"There is very little contemporary fiction which touches the level of Flannery O'Connor at her best." -Alan Pryce-Jones, New York Herald Tribune.

Book
Paper Back. Condition: New. Flannery O'Connor wrote two novels, this being her second and last. Even before we find the title page, she begins her mysterious assault: ''From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away'' (Matthew 11:12). This spare and often disturbing story is borne by only four characters, all uncles and nephews: the elder Mason Tarwater, his nephew Rayber, the younger Francis Tarwater (son of Rayber's sister, raised by his great-uncle Mason), and Bishop, Rayber's own ''dim-witted'' son. Both Rayber and the younger Tarwater live deeply conflicted lives, torn by their ''prophetic'' blood, living within the fragile tension of complete abandonment to or denial of its call. They can't shake their uncle's eyes, ''insane, fish-coloured, violent with their impossible vision of a world transfigured.'' In her genius, O'Connor hands us no fine or noble character. We find purity of heart in the young Bishop, but even his light seems overcome by the Tarwater ''affliction.'' Still, there is a hard won redemption here. If conflict is any indication of a soul's desire for the good, then it might be as the early Christian father John Cassian wrote: ''By their own desire they brought a certain force to bear on the heavenly kingdom and anticipated the particular signs of their calling.'' 243 pp.
