Flannery O’Connor était une auteure américaine singulière, célébrée pour sa perspective unique sur la vie du Sud des États-Unis et ses convictions catholiques profondément ancrées. Ses œuvres se caractérisent par un humour percutant, des images troublantes et des explorations de la grâce et de la rédemption dans des environnements marqués par la violence et le grotesque. O’Connor a créé avec maestria des personnages aux prises avec la foi, le péché et le divin, souvent dans des moments inattendus et dramatiques. Son écriture continue de captiver les lecteurs par son intensité et son honnêteté sans concession.
