A couple books

They are very interested in the topic... My beautiful display was short lived: someone came and bought both dinosaurs within minutes.

I'm rereading Flannery O'Connor's letters.
It requires some brain gymnastics to enter into her pov:
Christ as the ultimate reality, (and the Catholic Church as his body), which is her real interest, and her attitude toward race, which is not of primary interest to her--she sees "Negro suffering" as in some ways Christ-like (some talk about George Floyd that way)--but there's a crucial difference in being God as victim with (presumably) some choice in the matter, and being an entirely powerless human victim, which she seems to miss? Or, she sees all humans of all races in that category? She doesn't really go into it... (that I can see).

She says the situation is a Southern sin, but Redemption is way more her interest.

I never cared for her fiction.
Her letters are fascinating (partly because they’re near and yet so far—the brain likes to do gymnastics !), and they’re worth rereading (so far).
