Reviews

What wonderful work: the whole is readable, lively, and always interesting. Every university worth its name will have
this book in its library, so necessary is it for those working on O'Connor. Creating Flannery O'Connor is a real achievement.

--Barry Qualls, professor emeritus of English, Rutgers University
Daniel Moran's Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers provides a compelling investigation of how O'Connor's initial reputation of a Southern female writer over the years evolved into her status of great American writer...Through the de-construction of O'Connor's literary portrait that has been created over decades through a number of venues, Dr. Moran re-creates a new version: elusive, fluid, and changing.--Nataliya Shpylova-Saeed "New Books Network "
