Flannery O'Connor was one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century - a writer in the southern tradition, comparable to Eudora Welty and William Faulkner. She is as renowned for her tantalising brand of Southern gothic humour as she is for her Catholicism - that these tendencies should be associated with her fiction is no surprise, but it is astonishing to see them revealed in illustrated form, featured now in the first ever book devoted to her visual art. The never-before-seen drawings within are both sophisticated and clever.
