Summary: Unfolding the Beauty of Flannery O'Connor
Comment: Flannery is a beautiful person; reading these letters you feel like you are conversing with a personal friend and hope you get the chance to meet her; you can't help but wish you could have had the chance to correspond with her.
After years of loving her fiction, I found that, in these letters, her fiction and her soul unveil their beauty --- just like her beloved peafowl.

Summary: A must
Comment: This is simply my favorite epistolary collection. Of course, adoring O'Connor and her works helps. But even if you've never read her and simply want to spend an engaging few days in the company of a remarkable and funny woman, this is the place to be. I've gotten rid of a lot of books over the years, but this one has held its place on my shelf. Since you can't borrow it from me, hit that "Add to Cart" button!

Summary: Her Own Words--The Best Words
Comment: THE HABIT OF BEING is required reading for any Flannery O'Connor fan. Nobody can explain Flannery like Flannery. Through her letters the reader has an immediate connection to the writer and the woman, and that connection made me regret even more that I did not know her personally. Sally Fitzgerald includes letters that show Flannery's human side, her cranky side, her funny side, even her arrogant side. I read the letters before the identity of A was revealed, and I was intrigued. I went back and read them again after that identify was made public, and I'm even more intrigued. To understand fully what Flannery was attempting in her stories, one needs to read the letters. To understand fully what she was attempting in her life, one needs to read the letters. No satisfactory biography has been written about Flannery O'Connor, but I'm not sure that one is necessary when we have at least a start at an autobiography with THE HABIT OF BEING.
