Inside the Church of Flannery O'Connor: Sacrament, Sacramental, and the Sacred in Her Fiction

Inside the Church of Flannery O'Connor offers significant new essays by leading scholars who have advanced the codification of O'Connor as a writer preoccupied with religious, and especially Catholic, themes. In counterbalance, the collection also presents voices of sharp dissent at odds with O'Connor's own interpretations and with much of the existing scholarship concerning her work.
