Flannery O'Connor's dark comedies : the limits of inference

In Flannery OConnors Dark Comedies Carol Shloss aims to return Flannery OConnor to her readers on fathomable terms, to offer a rhetorical, rather than theological, perspective from which to understand the country preachers, square-jawed farm wives, wise rubes, foolish intellectuals, huckster Bible salesmen, killers, and other good country people who populate OConnors fiction. This valuable study of OConnors style uses several methods to dissect the authors literary devices from the dramatization of extreme religious experience to direct address to the reader.
