So I've been reading it wrong all these years. Well, anyway,
the church of course had to be in there or it wouldn't be
O'Connor. I appreciate the way she handles Christianity in
her work--large pictures and loud noise--and it helps me when
I write about religion in fiction, which I do a lot.
As for Noir Prophets, 1st inductee: "Oil and Water were the
same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep,
not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you
fell." Considering who it came from, yeah...
Now I'll be looking for Ellroy and Crumley lines.
