I have been a real idiot for not getting to Flannery O Connor yet in my reading life. This was exciting to listen to and love all the deep dive and explanations happening. You guys are so smart.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

I think you’d appreciate her gritty approach to life!

@PentoPaper 2 года назад

If it’s any kind of hope, I would term it bittersweet.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

Maybe that's a better way of expressing it!

I so enjoyed her home in Milledgeville, Ga, hunting down her family grave plot, church, etc when attending a Flannery conference there. One can study her manuscripts with merely applying and stating the purpose for viewing! (since I'm just an old, retired educator, "personal enrichment" was good to get in) I was in "hog heaven" as the southern saying goes!

@TheCodeXCantina Год назад

Very cool

Though I have not read this, I was thinking Calvin as well, and thought it was strange knowing O'Connor's own convictions. I have to rad more of her stories!

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

I think you'd like them!

_First!_ IMA ignoramus when it comes to Ms O'Connor, admittedly. Thanks for the education.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

You'll love her when you get to her!

@katiewilliams5674 2 года назад

I agree that her stories contain hope! This story really got me. It’s difficult to face the ugliness inside yourself but I think that it is the beginning of hope.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

Understanding oneself has proven much harder than I thought!

Read Luke 18:9-13; Flannery knew the scriptures. I think this was a scriptural foundation for this story.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

Could be. Cheers

I don’t know that I see hope in her stories, but she does call folks out for being turkeys and talking out both sides of their mouths. She was ahead of her time, that one. A true trailblazer though.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

I need some time to think more about how to best articulate that feeling with Flannery...

@jbell0243 Год назад

I think you precisely incorrect that O’Connor stories are not hopeful. Rather, O’Connor turns upside what it is for there to be hope. It is to be a changed, transfigured, the road emmaus moment is precisely the moment of hope, and it can come and often only comes like a sucker punch. This is why O’Connor said that in her better moments with one eye squinted she can almost be grateful for her horrible disease of Lupus. Grace comes like torrential fire to the engrained sinner. It hurts, and burns, it requires self death.

I’m not sure we said what you’re saying here. Thanks for sharing.

1924년 카프카가 죽고 1년뒤 오코너로 환생한다 루푸스로 투병하면서도 폭력을 통해 신비로운 실재계을 깨닫게 하는 소설들을 써낸다 . 39세에 별세한 미국 남부 카톨릭 아이리쉬 여성작가로서 (아웃사이더의 아웃사이더) 임팩트가 참 쎈 분이다

I liked this story, but it's far from her best work. I'm starting to see that many of Flannery's middle aged female characters all have similar characteristics. Not sure if that's a weakness of hers or a strength tbh. I guess I'll have to keep reading more Flannery in order to make a proper judgement.

@TheCodeXCantina 2 года назад

Yeah I dunno. I am inconsistent on that where sometimes it’s maybe by design, maybe by weakness. I’m not sure. I’ve been thinking about this in context w that mad Poe narrator and is that a flavor it is it a trait or a weakness

@jbell0243 Год назад

I also think you are somewhat incorrect in your analysis of the little girl being in the right, as you say. I don’t think grace operating through this little girl on ms Turpin means the little girl disrespecting her elder and being rude was not a fault. Rather, the process of communion, sanctification, is to bear with my neighbor and his or her faults, to unite ourself to Christ, to take up the image of God in taking up the cross and bearing the sins of the world. Then shall our charity be like His. It’s not about being in the right to be rude, it is about all things working for good in the final account.
