Kelly Scott Franklin on Flannery O'Connor

Flannery O’Connor gleefully maimed and killed off her characters in a million disturbing ways—and she was a devout, daily mass Catholic who read St. Thomas Aquinas in her spare time and made a pilgrimage to Lourdes, writes Dr. Kelly Scott Franklin.https://t.co/lfIChCyMKY

FWIW

I don't care for her acquiescing to the charge that O'Connor was racist merely because she preferred the company of her own.

Dr. Frey concludes her lecture by walking through one of Flannery O'Connor's short stories, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, to show how her vision of grace is exemplified in her works.

The lecture is now available here on our YouTube channel: https://t.co/lz4hJdP0MH.
