商品簡介
Darretta (mass communications, Iona College) asserts that retribution is central to O'Connor's work, and that her characters search for a doom commensurate with their guilt. O'Connor's take on retribution is solidly founded on biblical wisdom and durable doctrine, and her scope ranged from the personal in her early work to the eschatological as she neared the end of her life. By way of proof, Darretta analyzes works from Wise Blood to the collection of short stories entitles A Good Man Is Hard to Find, The Violent Bear It Away, and Everything that Rises Must Converge, giving each consideration as an exercise in decidedly Old Testament views of retribution while also considering the New Testament concepts of salvation and grace that peek from between the pages. The result is crisp and efficient, bearing witness to the many interpretations now emerging of O'Connor's faith and work. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
