from the brink of a ba, to those who are not...

The type of mind that can understand good fiction is not necessarily the educated mind, but it is at all times the kind of mind that is willing to have its sense of mystery deepened by contact with reality, and its sense of reality deepened by contact with mystery.
[flannery o'connor - the nature and aim of fiction]

I tried to get Mystery and Manners from Powell's but they didn't have it. The library doesn't have it either.
Mom and Betsy both suggested that I get one of Flannery O'Connor's books from the library to see if I like her writing. I have yet to begin it.
