47:08Now PlayingIn this insightful episode, hosts Marlo Slayback and Tom Sarrouf are joined by Dr. Alex Taylor, Assistant Professor of English at Christendom College, for an engaging discussion on one of America's most compelling literary figures—Flannery O'Connor. Together, they explore the profound Catholic themes that run through O'Connor's stories, her unique use of the grotesque to reveal grace, and the enduring relevance of her work in a culture increasingly distant from traditional faith.
From the shocking moments in her fiction that awaken characters to divine realities to the deeper philosophical and theological questions O'Connor wrestled with, Dr. Taylor brings a rich theological perspective to the conversation. Whether you're a longtime fan of O'Connor or new to her work, this episode provides fresh insights into how her stories challenge, inspire, and provoke deeper reflection on the human condition.
Join us as we delve into O'Connor’s world and discuss how her Southern Gothic style and deeply Catholic worldview continue to resonate today.
