'Wise Blood'

Flannery O'Connor never had just the normal character. No, they were all freaks, grotesques, nuts, yahoos, weirdos, perverts and oddities.

All in the American South, too. Maybe commentary about how backwards the place is or maybe it wouldn't change if O'Connor lived in New York City, Los Angeles or Fargo.

I get the feeling that O'Connor wasn't a very happy person. Maybe that shows itself through the dysfunctional characters, the odd relationships and the insane goings-on. Maybe she wasn't too pleased with God as it appears she didn't think too much of religion, clergymen or anything associated with the church.

Maybe she just didn't like people. That's probably why I like O'Connor so much.
