lunababymoonchild Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 From Amazon : Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's first novel, is the story of Hazel Motes who, released from the armed services, returns to the evangelical Deep South. There he begins a private battle against the religiosity of the community and in particular against Asa Hawkes, the 'blind' preacher, and his degenerate fifteen-year-old daughter. In desperation Hazel founds his own religion, 'The Church without Christ', and this extraordinary narrative moves towards its savage and macabre resolution. Highly unusual, completely original and thoroughly absorbing. The writing is amazing and the storyline is out of this world.
