Flannery O’Connor was een uitgesproken Amerikaanse auteur, gevierd om haar unieke perspectief op het leven in het Zuiden van de VS en haar diepgewortelde katholieke overtuigingen. Haar werken worden gekenmerkt door scherpe humor, verontrustende beelden en verkenningen van genade en verlossing te midden van omgevingen vol geweld en het groteske. O’Connor creëerde meesterlijk personages die worstelen met geloof, zonde en het goddelijke, vaak op onverwachte en dramatische momenten. Haar schrijven blijft lezers boeien met zijn intensiteit en compromisloze eerlijkheid.
