Notable works |
[T]he soft focus portrait and oversized, decorative peacock feathers . . . do little to support the composition or speak to O'Connor as a literary force. And why do away with her signature cat-eye sunglasses? A 'soft focus' Flannery is at odds with her belief that, 'modern writers must often tell 'perverse' stories to 'shock' a morally blind world . . . It requires considerable courage not to turn away from the story-teller.'
