description: In this first of three books on Flannery O'Connor as literary theologian, Getz examines O'Connor's intellectual and theological behaviors and cultural circles, and the integration of her personal virtue into her work. The study begins with a discussion of her early life in the South, follows her through her "literary apprenticeship" in the North, and examines what it was like to be a white woman participating in pre-Vatican II Catholicism and living in the pre-Civil Rights Movement rural South. The last section evaluates her book reviews, using them as examples of how she placed her spiritual values into her work. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
