The thing that has always baffled me about people's perception of my writing is the sense that I'm a very controversial, opinionated, polarizing person.

It's far easier to write why something is terrible than why it's good.

John Milton

There are two qualities that make fiction. One is the sense of mystery and the other is the sense of manners. You get the manners from the texture of existence that surrounds you. The great advantage of being a Southern writer is that we don't have to go anywhere to look for manners; bad or good, we've got them in abundance. We in the South live in a society that is rich in contradiction, rich in irony, rich in contrast, and particularly rich in its speech.
Flannery O'Connor
