	GM Hopkins andflannery O'Connor
		Southern writer Flannery O'Connor and Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, though a century apart, were fellow travelers in their belief in, and demonstration of, lit-erature's ability to guide the reader into an experience of God's transcendence.
		O'Connor's excitement undoubtedly stemmed from the self-recognition that she had something to say of a prophetic nature to the world; and, that she possessed the imagination to do so aesthetically.
		O'Connor explains this manner of writing fiction when she writes, "[A]ny char-acter in a serious novel is supposed to carry a burden of meaning larger than himself" (MM, 167).

	Flannery O'Connor
		Flannery O'Connor is a Christian writer, and her work is message-oriented, yet she is far too brilliant a stylist to tip her hand; like all good writers, crass didacticism is abhorrent to her.
		Mary Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia on March twenty-fifth, 1925 to Catholic parents Edward F. and Regina C. O'Connor, and spent her early childhood at 207 East Charlton Street.
		O'Connor is compassionate to her characters in that she gives them the opportunity of receiving grace, however devastating that might be to their fragile self-images, as well as their fragile mortal frames, for in O'Connor, grace often comes at the moment of grisly death.

	Jesuit Influence on Flannery OConnor
		O'Connor writes about those whom many writers of her generation repressed: the mystic, the prophetic, the marginalized—in short, she deals with otherness, difference, transgression, excess—contemporary notions (some even might say buzz words) so much part of critical parlance today.
		O'Connor often wrote about communicating a religious vision to those for whom the phrase was almost meaningless; in order to do that, however, she needed to lead her reader through the thicket of her fiction, often by means of religious code words, phrases, incidents, and situations.
		O'Connor preserves the mystery of the scene by leaving it to the reader to envision the ‘connection' between the literary details and the hierophany, and she thereby respects both the created fictional world and the reader” (23).

	Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964)
		In general O'Connor explains that she is not so much a realist of the social fabric as a "realist of distances" (44), portraying both concrete everyday manners and something more, something beyond the ordinary: "It is the business of fiction to embody mystery through manners.
		She admits too that her fiction might be called grotesque, though she cautions that "anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic" (40).
		O'Connor is usually compared to writers who are southern or gothic or Catholic or some combination thereof: e.g., William Faulkner, Nathanael West, Graham Greene.

		Flannery O'Connor died in 1964 at the age of thirty-nine.
		My own sense is that many readers do not take seriously O'Connor's conviction that she was speaking in contemporary terms about the Incarnation, using a language that was analogical and allusive and that moved, as she once famously said, from manners into mystery.
		Finally, O'Connor was a very careful writer whose sentences, densely worked over and pruned to avoid cliches, each carried more than the usual amount of freight.

	Flannery O'Connor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flannery described herself as a "pigeon-toed only child with a receding chin and a you-leave-me-alone-or-I'll-bite-you complex." As a child she was in the local newspapers when she taught a chicken that she owned to walk backwards.
		O'Connor wrote: "Grace changes us and change is painful." She also had a lively, sardonic sense of humor, often based in the disparity between her characters' limited perceptions and the awesome fate awaiting them.
		O'Connor uses such characters' inability to come to terms with race, poverty, and fundamental religion, other than in sentimental illusions, as an example of the failure of the secular world in the twentieth century.
