520 In any age, humans wrestle with apparently inexorable
forces. Today, we face the threat of global terrorism. In
the aftermath of September 11, few could miss sensing that
a great evil was at work in the world. In Flannery O &
rsquo;Connor & rsquo;s time, the threats came from
different sources & mdash;World War II, the Cold War, and
the Korean conflict & mdash;but they were just as real.
She, too, lived though a & ldquo;time of terror. & rdquo;
The first major critical volume on Flannery O &
rsquo;Connor & rsquo;s work in more than a decade,
Flannery O & rsquo;Connor in the Age of Terrorism explores
issues of violence, evil, and terror & mdash;themes that
were never far from O & rsquo;Connor & rsquo;s reach and
that seem particularly relevant to our present-day
setting. The fifteen essays collected here offer a wide
range of perspectives that explore our changing views of
violence in a post-9/11 world and inform our understanding
of a writer whose fiction abounds in violence. Written by
both established and emerging scholars, the pieces that
editors Avis Hewitt and Robert Donahoo have selected offer
a compelling and varied picture of this iconic author and
her work. Included are comparisons of O & rsquo;Connor to
1950s writers of noir literature and to the contemporary
American novelist Cormac McCarthy; cultural studies that
draw on horror comics of the Cold War and on Fordism and
the American mythos of the automobile; and pieces that
shed new light on O & rsquo;Connor & rsquo;s complex
religious sensibility and its role in her work. While
continuing to speak fresh truths about her own time, O &
rsquo;Connor & rsquo;s fiction also resonates deeply with
the postmodern sensibilities of audiences increasingly
distant from her era & mdash;readers absorbed in their own
terrors and sense of looming, ineffable threats. This
provocative new collection presents O & rsquo;Connor &
rsquo;s work as a touchstone for understanding where our
culture has been and where we are now. With its diverse
approaches, Flannery O & rsquo;Connor in the Age of
Terrorism will prove useful not only to scholars and
students of literature but to anyone interested in history,
popular culture, theology, and reflective writing. Avis
Hewitt has published articles in Flannery O & rsquo;Connor
Review, Christianity and Literature, and Renascence. She
is associate professor of English at Grand Valley State
University in Allendale, Michigan. Robert Donahoo is
professor of English at Sam Houston State University in
Huntsville, Texas. He has published articles in Flannery O
& rsquo;Connor Review, Literature and Belief, Journal of
Contemporary Thought, and Journal of the Short Story in
English.
