Flannery O’Connor’s “Revelation”
by Dr. White on julio 31, 2024
Flannery O’Connor’s “Revelation” is, according to Dr. White, not just a great Catholic story but a great piece of literature. He likens it to old fashioned Catholic art, i.e., stories taken from scripture and presented in dramatic form. Interspersed with his impassioned readings, Revelation is what Dr. White considers to be to be a Catholic truth; derived from the Gospel of St. Luke, presented directly and openly; and the first representation of purgatory in literature since Dante.
