Mystery Boxes: Flannery O’Connor in the Archives

This book argues that a key to understanding the work of Flannery O’Connor is understanding her idea of mystery in terms of persona, craft, and transcendent meaning and explores the exciting discoveries the archives hold for O’Connor scholars as well as general readers, from papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin to the Flannery O’Connor holdings at Georgia College and at Emory University and the Morgan Library.
