O'Connor was diagnosed with lupus in her early twenties. She died as from complications of lupus when she was 39. Her work is influenced by the farm in which she lived and her strong Roman Catholic faith.
Strong satire, intense characters were hallmarks of her genius.

I love Flannery O'Conner! Brilliant. Funny.

Sure sounds like quite the woman indeed. Ugg to lupus, another crummy disease.
ReplyDeleteO'Connor is one of my favorite writers, something I've mentioned a number of times on my blog as well as discussing some of her works. Someday I hope I can visit her home place in Milledgeville. I've been to that town a few times but didn't know then that this was where here home had been and about the museum dedicated to her. Hopefully one day...
