Flannery O'Connor to "A" 6-25-60

(Re: "The Violent Bear it Away" a just-)

"The mummy was an idol to Enoch if you want to anayze it but the fact is you can't analyze that kind of attraction. For the book as a whole, it was the figure for the new jesus--a shrivelled man."

  1. This post is a little cryptic. Is this a test or am I missing something? "The Violent Bear it Away" has no mummy as it was "Wise Blood" that had Enoch's gorilla and mummy symbolism.
