| Abstract | "Radical Ambivalence: Race in Flannery O'Connor, the first book-length study of O'Connor's complex and sometimes troubling attitude towards race in her fiction and correspondence, contends that O'Connor's race-haunted writing serves as the literary incarnation of her uncertainty about the great question of her era and of her urgent need, despite considerable reluctance, to address the fraught relationship between the races"-- Provided by publisher. |
