Return to Good and Evil: Flannery O'Connor's Response to Nihilism

Marion Montgomery

4/5 ( ratings)

A guide to the works of Flannery O'Connor, the southern Catholic author so preoccupied with the threat of nihilism - the idea that God is dead. O'Connor argues that nihilism, especially as promoted by its most notorious proponent Friedrich Nietzsche, seduces modern men and women to take a dangerous odyssey beyond good and evil into an unknown land that falsely promises a brave new world of human progress and evolution.
