Although Good Country Men Shall Enter First, They Are Hard to Find When They Are Displaced in the Rising Convergence of the River of Symbolism


Now that you have immersed yourself in some wonderfully powerful texts from Flannery O'Connor, I invite you to leave comments here so you can have further debates about her work with your fellow APES. Accessing this site may give you some secret insights or it may just be a little fun. The Misfit may say "there is no pleasure in it," but that's why he's a Misfit.

Here's one of her quotes to get us started:
"The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location."

Has Flannery, in the stories you read, found that location? Have you?
