"Offering itself as the most grotesque work in all of Southern fiction, Flannery O'Connor's 'Wise Blood' is a novel only in the widest possible sense of the word. It is a prose fiction of considerable length, but beyond that requirement none of the standard elements of the novel is to be found. The development of character, the exploration of character interaction, and the development of plot are unimportant. Such action as occurs is often without motivation, leads nowhere, and is almost always absurd. Any resemblance to the world of objective reality is certainly incidental. Yet, when these things are said, the book still remains one of the most impressive creations of the School of the Grotesque, or School of Southern Gothic. That the book is rewarding despite its unconventionality can be attributed to the author's singular vision and style. Miss O'Connor several times commented upon her vocation: her mission, as she saw it, was to depict the reality of Christianity to an audience for whom nothing transempirical is real." - Lewis A. Lawson, 'Flannery O'Connor and The Grotesque: Wise Blood' in 'Renascence, Vol 17, Issue 3: Essays on Values in Literature' (1965). 📸: Via Pinterest - unknown artist. . #generallygothic #gothic #southernspell #southerngothic #southerngothicliterature #gothicliterature #gothicfiction #southernamerican #theamericansouth #flanneryoconnor #gothicauthor #femalegothic #femaleauthor #wiseblood #flanneryoconnorwiseblood #religion #christianity #thegrotesque #grotesque #lewisalawson #literarycriticism #literarytheory #literature #literarycritic #pinterest #journal #literaryjournal #renascence #puppet #southernfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzjzpq6AqJt/?igshid=8y0vkawmuh78
