This episode, Clare and Hannah talk about Flannery O'Connor's first novel, Wise Blood, published in 1952. O'Connor's stories are rich with symbolism, from a beat-up jalopy of a car to a stolen gorilla suit, and from a preacher's blindness to a shrunken mummified body in a museum. It's a darkly comic and often grotesque ride. Flannery O’Connor has her own section at Clare’s Bookshop.org page. Click through if you’d like to get your own copy of Wise Blood or any other book by and about O’Connor...
