	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Wise Blood
		One of two novels by Georgia writer Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood is a masterpiece of allegory and farce (a blending of humor and tragedy).
		Wise Blood deals with several topics: the way in which people are displaced and marginalized; the arrogance that keeps people from seeing themselves; and the centrality of Christ in the salvation of humankind, with the suggestion that one's awareness of Christ is the mark of one's very character.
		Wise Blood made its premiere and was enthusiastically received at the New York Film Festival in September 1979.

		Wise Blood was directed by John Huston and produced by Michael and Kathy Fitzgerald (© Ithaca Productions, 1979).

	Reason: Dad Blood: If DNA tests prove that you’re not your children’s father, do you still owe child support? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wise’s fateful discovery, several years after his divorce, was prompted by the desire to help treat his 6-year-old son for cystic fibrosis: When he took a blood test to find out which cystic fibrosis gene he carried, it turned out that he didn’t have the gene at all.
		Wise was later barred from contact with all four children because he had discussed the issue of their parentage with them in violation of the judge’s order, but he still had to keep the checks coming.
		Morgan Wise, for instance, has unsuccessfully tried to argue that his former wife’s lover or lovers who fathered the three boys he once believed to be his should be the person or persons paying child support.

	Religious Vision and Free Will in Flannery O'Connor's Novel Wise Blood
		In the year before it was finished she was struck down by the first attack of Lupus and the disease left her health in a precarious state until she died nearly thirteen years later in 1964.
		I suspect that the male dominated literary scene at that time hated being upstaged by a woman writer, especially a talented woman not afraid to use controversial subject matter, and remember, this was a time when anything perceived as being 'liberal' or merely 'outside of the ordinary', was equated with anti Americanism.
		Wise Blood is an iridescent story; brim full with insights, and dialogue loaded with symbolism, comic irony and truisms: all uttered by characters in complete innocence.

		The basic story of both Dead Souls and Wise Blood can be stripped down to reveal a framework that is remarkably consistent, despite the 110-year and 5,000-mile difference between them.

	The Ragged Figure by Jude Joseph Lovell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The tiny hint of fear—whether competitive or existential—that can be detected in the response of these two established Catholic writers to Wise Blood is enough in itself to elicit admiration for the book’s effect.
		To earn respect of this caliber from one’s colleagues would seem to be the result of a seasoned, worldly, perhaps embittered old novelist’s finest effort, the product of a long life and career spent fine-tuning a sharp, dispassionate perspective on this world.
		I can remember being truly baffled by Wise Blood and asking myself where at any point in the book could I find the slightest evidence of love, forgiveness, Catholicism, or even of the woman herself who wrote the thing.
