more later, of course, but
I’d like to mention before I get caught up in this weekend’s impending college whirlwind that I’m really enjoying O’Conner’s use of the word “cadaverous” in Wise Blood. It’s been used to describe a face multiple times; it’s such a striking image. Points to her, though I don’t know how I’d feel about living in a world painted by Flannery O’Connor’s descriptions.
