What is there to say about Flannery O'Connor that hasn't already been said by people smarter and more eloquent than me? I was fascinated by her ability to render such excruciatingly real characters that I immediately made a plan to draw a comic for every short story (then immediately abandoned said plan in a fit of laziness). Her writing is like the kind of people I prefer to hang out with: funny, graceful, full of sharp judgements.
