The Terrible Speed of Mercy

Short Review: This is a good short introductory biography of O'Connor. I have previously read an edited edition of her grad school journal (A Prayer Journal) and one of her collections of short stories (A Good Man is Hard to Find). But I knew little about her and after reading the short stories thought I needed to know more before reading more by her.

My plan is to read A Subversive Gospel: Flannery O'Connor and the Reimagining of Beauty, Goodness, and Truth and then the Image Journal edition of her college journals and then her first novel, Wise Blood.

My slightly longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/the-terrible-speed-of-mercy/
