Book Synopsis

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Special Award

I have come to think that the true likeness of Flannery O''Connor will be painted by herself, a self-portrait in words, to be found in her letters . . . There she stands, a phoenix risen from her own words: calm, slow, funny, courteous, both modest and very sure of herself, intense, sharply penetrating, devout but never pietistic, downright, occasionally fierce, and honest in a way that restores honor to the word.?Sally Fitzgerald, from the Introduction
