A haunting exploration of faith, family, and the struggle between the sacred and the profane. First published in 1955, The Violent Bear It Away is a landmark in American literature. This dark and absorbing novel showcases Flannery O'Connor's Gothic sensibility and bracing satirical voice. It follows the orphaned Francis Marion Tarwater and his cousins, the schoolteacher Rayber, as they defy the prophecy of their dead uncle-that Tarwater will become a prophet and baptize Rayber's young son, Bishop. Tarwater fights an internal battle against his innate faith and the voices calling him to be a prophet, while Rayber tries to draw Tarwater into a more "reasonable" modern world. Both wrestle with the legacy of their dead relatives and lay claim to Bishop's soul. O'Connor observes this struggle with an astonishing combination of irony and compassion, humor and pathos, revealing her brilliance as an innovative writer acutely attuned to the interplay of the sacred and the mundane.
Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) was one of America's most gifted writers. She wrote two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away, and two story collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Everything That Rises Must Converge. Her Complete Stories, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year, and in a 2009 online poll it was voted as the best book to have won the award in the contest's 60-year history. Her essays were published in Mystery and Manners and her letters in The Habit of Being.
