Words Wednesday: Flannery O’Connor
Today’s Words Wednesday is inspired by Flannery O’Connor, one of the most famous writers of the Southern Gothic genre.
This quote comes from Flannery O’Connor’s acclaimed novel, Wise Blood. Published in 1952, Wise Blood, like so many of O’Connor’s work, explores dark themes of life, death, and religion in the American South. Wise Blood was Flannery O’Connor’s first novel and was comprised of several previously written short stories, including her master’s thesis.
“In yourself right now is the only place you’ve got.”
Flannery O’Connor, Wise Blood
