Since this season of distancing might afford you some more downtime, I wanted to share a few of my favorite books. In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite Southern writers, Flannery O'Connor. O'Connor wrote two novels and thirty-two short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. These are a few of my favorites from her body of work. #Books #Reading #OnCaspersBookshelf

“The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural; and he may well be forced to take ever more violent means to get his vision across to this hostile audience. When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal ways of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock—to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost blind you draw large and startling figures.” -Flannery O'Connor
