Creating Flannery O'Connor by Daniel Moran

Creating Flannery O'Connor by Daniel Moran

Flannery O'Connor may now be acknowledged as the Great American Catholic Author, but this was not always the case. With Creating Flannery O'Connor Daniel Moran explains how O'Connor attained that status, and how she felt about it.

Daniel Moran’s Creating Flannery O’Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers provides a compelling investigation of how O’Connor’s initial reputation of a Southern female writer over the years evolved into her status of great American writer…Through the de-construction of O’Connor’s literary portrait that has been created over decades through a number of venues, DrMoran re-creates a new version: elusive, fluid, and changing.
