Frases de Flannery O'Connor

Flannery O'Connor foi uma escritora norte-americana. Sendo uma importante voz na literatura americana, escreveu dois livros e trinta e dois contos. Oriunda do sul norte-americano, enquadra-se dentro do estilo literário Gótico Sulista, e suas obras falam da realidade onde estava inserida, com situações grotescas e personagens em decadência. Embora estivesse num contexto social predominantemente protestante, sua escrita reflete a crença no catolicismo, onde com frequência são examinados temas como ética e moralidade. Seus contos foram compilados em uma edição após sua morte e, em 1972, Complete Stories ganhou o prêmio U.S National Book Award Fiction.

O'Connor foi uma das mais criativas contistas e inspiradoras romancistas do século XX. Seus romances e suas novelas aliam a inspiração católica ao imaginário sulista.
