This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the second half of THE VIOLENT BEAR IT AWAY by Flannery O’Connor. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “First published in 1960, The Violent Bear It Away is a landmark in American literature - a dark and absorbing example of the Gothic sensibility and bracing satirical voice that are united in Flannery O’Connor’s work…It’s all observed by O’Connor with an astonishing combination of irony and compassion, humor and pathos.”
