Description

Instructor: Angelina Stanford, MA

Intimidated by Flannery O’Connor? She’s weird, violent, and grotesque. Many readers are left wondering, what did I just read? Her stories present a world of Dark Grace headed for a collision with Modernity, and it’s an uncomfortable crash, but a beautiful one!

This course explores the Christian imagination and redemptive vision of Flannery O’Connor. We will read her essays and excerpts from her letters in order to understand her fiction. Watch her whole canon open up when you understand what she’s up to.
