Flannery o connor biography
She was a Southern writer, who often wrote in a sardonic Southern Gothic style, and she relied, heavily, on regional settings and grotesque characters, often in violent situations. In her writing, an unsentimental acceptance or rejection of the limitations, imperfections or differences of these characters (whether attributed to disability, race, crime, religion or sanity) typically underpins the drama.[2]
Her writing often reflects her Catholic faith, and frequently examines questions of morality and ethics.
Her posthumously compiled Complete Stories won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction and has been the subject of enduring praise.
