Yes! But I haven't read her novels ... just the amazing short stories. Thanks for the cartoon book info!

Gotta love O'Connor. Believe it or not, she reminds me a bit of the Russian novelists like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky in that she's less concerned with stylistic flourishes than she is with exposing the humanity of even the most unsavory of characters.

Check out the Southern Gothic charms of John Huston's utterly bugf*ck crazy adaptation of O'Connor's WISE BLOOD novel (which is also worthy of the label "bugf*ck crazy" so, y'know, all things being equal).

To its credit, it's probably one of the most literal adaptations of a novel I've ever seen.

Thanks for the cartoons! I am a fan of O'Connor as well. In fact, a colleague of mine adapted "Parker's Back" into a feature length Screenplay. We were able to get an option on the rights from the estate (first since John Huston) but were unable to raise the money to make the film.

She was truly an amazing writer! Thanks for the reminder.
