Flannery O'Connor (+ 3.8.1964)

Gerard Serafin erinnert an Mary Flannery O'Connor, läßt alle, die ihre gesammelten Briefe als "A Habit of Being" nicht im Regal stehen haben, einen Brief lesen und zitiert Thomas Merton:

"When I read Flannery O'Connor, I do not think of Hemingway, or Katharine Anne Porter, or Sartre, but rather of someone like Sophocles. What more can you say for a writer? I write her name with honor, for all the truth and all the craft with which she shows man's fall and his dishonor."
