【美国人物志】弗兰纳里·奥康纳(5/11)
Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925 – August 3, 1964) was an American writer and essayist. An important voice in American literature, O'Connor wrote two novels and 32 short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. She was a Southern writer who often wrote in a Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters. O'Connor's writing also reflected her own Roman Catholic faith, and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics.Hints:

The treatment for lupus weakened her. She moved back to Georgia and lived the rest of her life with her mother on a farm outside Milledgeville. O'Connor was still able to write, travel, and give speeches. "Wise Blood" appeared in 1952. Both it and O'Connor's second novel, "The Violent Bear it Away," are about a young man growing up. In both books the young men are unwilling to accept the work they were most fit to do. Like all of Flannery O'Connor's writing, the book is filled with humor, even when her meaning is serious. It shows the mix of a traditional world with a modern world. It also shows a battle of ideas expressed in the simple, country talk that O'Connor knew very well.当她创作自己的第一部小说《智血》的时候，她患上了当年杀死她父亲的疾病——红斑狼疮。对于红斑狼疮的治疗使得她变得虚弱。她搬回了佐治亚州，并在余生和自己的母亲居住在
米利奇维尔镇外的一个农场上。奥康纳依然在写作，旅行，演讲。《智血》在1952年上市。这部著作和她的第二部作品《暴力夺取》都是关于一个年轻男人的成长。在这两部书中这些年轻人都不希望去接受最适合他们自己的工作。像她其他的著作一样。这两部书都非常幽默，尽管其传递的意思是非常严肃的。它显示了传统文化和现代文化的碰撞。它同样展示了以一种简单的方式，乡村闲谈方式对自己想法的阐述和碰撞，而这正是奥康纳所擅长的。
