"The Terrible Speed of Mercy" Flannery O'Connor by Jonathan Rogers

My favorite passages from “The Terrible Speed of Mercy’

I studied O'Connor lot in AP English, and it was really interesting to revisit her more than a decade later through a different lens. This book offers a really illuminating perspective on how O'Connor's faith shaped her writing, and how most of the world has misinterpreted her famously grotesque short stories.
