A Subversive Gospel

Short Review: I have decided to read all of O'Connor's fiction this year. I have previously read only her A Good Man is Hard to Find and her Prayer Journal. And A Subversive Gospel is oriented toward someone that is pretty familiar with her work. There are lots of references to her work. I stopped about 2/3 the way through to listen to the audiobook of Wise Blood to get a sense of how she wrote a novel.

This is the type of book that I would like to read more of. It is oriented toward making the reader a better reader of both O'Connor and a better reader more generally. If you wanted to be a lit major but never were, this is probably a good book for you.

I will probably go back and re-read the whole book, or major sections of it once I finish reading all of O'Connor's fiction.
