I very much enjoyed the Flannery O'Connor letters collection "The Habit of Being," so when I saw this available at the library, I quickly reserved it. I was disappointed with the number of letters from other people — either to Flannery O'Connor or between two people in which they mention her. I was greatly disappointed that there were no photos in the book. However, her letters to others, especially in the second half of the book and especially when she talks about her life in Georgia, are worth the time. I'd rather read her letters about her swans and peacocks and donkeys than letters from her editor suggesting changes in her latest piece of writing. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A literary treasure of over one hundred unpublished letters from National Book Award-winning author Flannery O'Connor and her circle of extraordinary friends. Flannery O'Connor is a master of twentieth-century American fiction, joining, since her untimely death in 1964, the likes of Hawthorne, Hemingway, and Faulkner. Those familiar with her work know that her powerful ethical vision was rooted in a quiet, devout faith and informed all she wrote and did. Good Things Out of Nazareth, a much-anticipated collection of many of O'Connor's previously unpublished letters--along with those of literary luminaries such as Walker Percy (The Moviegoer), Caroline Gordon (None Shall Look Back), Katherine Anne Porter (Ship of Fools), Robert Giroux and movie critic Stanley Kauffmann. The letters explore such themes as creativity, faith, suffering, and writing. Brought together, they form a riveting literary portrait of these friends, artists, and thinkers. Here we find their joys and loves, as well as their trials and tribulations as they struggle with doubt and illness while championing their beliefs and often confronting racism in American society during the civil rights era.
