Flannery O'Connor

from Vintage Saints and Sinners Hosted by Karen Wright Marsh, Gabriel Hunter-Chang

Writer Carlene Bauer and Karen Wright Marsh explore the many sides of Flannery O’Connor. The American author, Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964) insisted that she was not a mystic and did not lead a holy life---yet faith infuses her fiction, letters, and private journals, tracing themes of sin and grace, fall and redemption, and the ultimate reality: God revealed in the Incarnation. What do we make of this unexpected saint? Guest Carlene Bauer is the author of a memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, and a novel called Frances and Bernard, inspired by the lives of Flannery O'Connor and Robert Lowell. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Elle, The Los Angeles Review of Books, n + 1, and The Virginia Quarterly Review.
