Southern Summer Reads

Wise Blood, by Flannery O’Connor

“The darkness in Wise Blood pairs well with this dead summer heat. Though I could say the book is about an atheist veteran often mistaken for a priest, a prostitute, a manic teenage zookeeper, and a questionable priest and his daughter, nobody talks about Flannery O’Connor as well as Flannery O’Connor. In the edition we have of this book, she describes her first novel as being about the ‘inevitability of belief.’”

—Sara Peck, manager/buyer, Blue Bicycle Books, Charleston, SC
