Better to See You W (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780881468250)

This collection of twenty provocative and quirky essays presents Gentry's most recent discoveries of angles from which to freshly examine and appreciate the works of Flannery O'Connor, along with reprints of most of Gentry's O'Connor articles since he published FLANNERY O'CONNOR'S RELIGION OF THE GROTESQUE. Although there is plenty in this gathering that would certainly surprise O'Connor herself, there is much that might help the reader who is searching for how to get more out of her intriguing stories, such as A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Good Country People. Along with thoughts about where the study of O'Connor has been and where it is now going, Gentry proposes original ideas on O'Connor's depiction of children, her fascinating manner of narrating, on gender issues as they relate to O'Connor's life and work, and on the popular topics of religion and race. Anyone with an interest in O'Connor should find here something to treasure and something to which they will object.
