Explores the hermit novelist, Flannery O'Connor's identification with the early Christian monastics and the ways in which she infused her fiction with their teachings. This title shows how her characters are moved toward a radical simplicity of ascetic discipline as a means of confronting internal and worldly evils while being drawn closer to God.
