Book Description:
In the spirit of St. Thomas Aquinas, the writings of Flannery O Connor s concern for place can best be seen in the immediacies of things and persons. It is in relation to St. Thomas teaching, then, that O Connor becomes comfortable in her 'place,' Andalusia, that small farm just outside the small town of Milledgeville in middle Georgia. The abiding relationship between place Andalusia or elsewhere and a person comes out of human nature itself, evidenced in a person s experiences of things in this place at this time. <P>With that as background, this detailed analysis of O Connor s works lays to rest the author s own self deprecating description of herself as a 'hillbilly' Thomist. Instead we see in O Connor s writing a highly sophisticated mind, an inconvenience to the many critics who dismiss her as anti intellectual. <P>The book is published as a set of two volumes. Replacement volumes can be obtained individually under ISBN 07864 26268 (for Volume 1) and ISBN 0786426276 (for Volume 2).
