Flannery O’Connor
by Jeff Guhin

So there’s a review of a new biography in the New York Times, and a review of  the review at Commonweal, which has this fantastic quote from FO’C about the Misfit:

“I don’t want to equate the Misfit with the devil. I prefer to think, however unlikely this may seem, the old lady’s gesture, like the mustard-seed, will grow to be a great crow-filled tree in the Misfit’s heart, and will be enough of a pain to him there to turn him into the prophet he was meant to become. But that’s another story.”
