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.

O'Connor's second novel, "The Violent Bear it Away," was published in 1960. Like "Wise Blood," it is a story about a young man learning to deal with life. The book opens with the young man, Francis Marion Tarwater, refusing to do the two things his grandfather had ordered him to do. These are to bury the old man deep in the ground, and to bring religion to his uncle's mentally sick child. Instead, Tarwater burns the house where his grandfather died and lets the mentally sick child drown during a religious ceremony.奥康纳的第二部小说《暴力夺取》在1960年出版。像《智血》一样，它也是关于一个年轻人学习去面对生活。本书开篇以一个名叫弗朗西斯·马里昂的年轻人拒绝去做自己的祖父吩咐自己做的两件事。即把老人死后埋葬在地下，给自己叔叔有心理疾病的孩子带来信仰。取而代之，马里昂把自己去世时呆着的屋子付之一炬，把那个有心理疾病的孩子在一次宗教仪式中溺死。
