is the first major biography of one
of the greatest writers of the twentieth century,
whose books, as the poet Elizabeth Bishop wrote,
will live on and on in American literature. The landscape
of fiction in America was fundamentally changed when
Flannery O Connor
(1925-1964)
appeared on the scene in
1952
with her first published book, Wise Blood. Her fierce,
sometimes comic novels and stories reflected the darkly
funny, vibrant, and theologically sophisticated woman who
wrote them. Brad Gooch brings to life O Connor s significant
friendships
—
with Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Hardwick,
Walker Percy, and James Dickey, among others
—
and her
deeply felt convictions, as expressed in her communications
with Thomas Merton, Elizabeth Bishop,
Katherine Anne
Porter, and Betty Hester. Hester was famously known as A
in O Connor s collected letters, The Habit of Being, and a
large cache of correspondence to her from O Connor was
made available to scholars, including Brad Gooch, in
2007.
Flannery follows O Connor from her insular childhood in
Savannah, Georgia; to graduate school at the fledgling Iowa
Writers Workshop; to Yaddo, the artists colony in upstate
New York, where lifelong and influential friendships were
formed; and, finally, to Andalusia, the family dairy farm in
Milledgeville, Georgia. She died there at the age of thirty-
nine, of lupus
—
the same ravaging autoimmune disease
that killed her beloved father. The wolf, I m afraid, is
inside, she wrote of her illness, tearing up the place.
O Connor also wrote: My subject in fiction is the action
of grace in territory held largely by the devil. With wit,
authority, and his own considerable gift for storytelling, Brad
Gooch has illuminated the sources of Flannery O Connor s
unique fictional material. He reveals this canonical American
writer to us in all her profundity and humanity.
BRAD GOOCH is the author of the acclaimed
biography of Frank O Hara, City Poet. The recipient of
National Endowment for the Humanities and Guggenheim
fellowships, he earned his PhD at Columbia University
and is a professor of English at William Paterson
University in New Jersey.
PRAISE FOR
CITY POET: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF FRANK O HARA
Judicious, luminously written, and terrifically evocative of
American cultural life in the Eisenhower and Kennedy eras.
—
New York Observer
O Hara s life was a terrific display of guts and wit and
style and passion. Gooch conveys all of this with
lightness and thoroughness.

sante
Not only is this book
а
joy to read, it s a necessary
chronicle of a fascinating, often overlooked key character
in modern American letters.
