The Burr in the Burgh: Flannery O'Connor Shouts to the Morally Hard of Hearing

Scott Stiegemeyer uses the author Flannery O'Connor as the centerpiece of a discussion on why "Christian writing" shouldn't always be uplifting and cheerful. He has a great O'Connor quote to go with his post:

The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural;....to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures.
