Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 424 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: Flannery OConnors astonishing and haunting first novel is a classic of 20th-century literature. It is the story of Hazel Motes, a 22-year-old caught in an unending struggle against his innate, desperate faith. He falls under the spell of a blind street preacher named Asa Hawks and his degenerate 15-year-old daughter. In an ironic, malicious gesture of his own non-faith, and to prove himself a greater cynic than Hawks, Hazel founds The Church of God Without Christ but is still thwarted in his efforts to lose God. He meets Enoch Emery, a young man with wise blood, who leads him to a mummified holy child and whose crazy maneuvers are a manifestation of Hazels existential struggles. This tale of redemption, retribution, false prophets, blindness, and wisdom gives us one of the most riveting characters in American fiction. Critic Reviews: No other major American writer of our century has constructed a fictional world so energetically and forthrightly charged by religious investigation. ( The New Yorker) There is in Flannery OConnor a fierceness of literary gesture, an angriness of observation, a facility for catching, as an animal eye in the wilderness, cunningly and at one sharp glance, the shape and detail and animal intention of enemy and foe. ( The New York Times Book Review)
