Flannery O'Connor's Why Do the Heathen Rage?: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at a Work in Progress - Book by Jessica Hooten Wilson
Flannery O'Connor’s unfinished third novel, Why Do the Heathen Rage?, was left incomplete when she died in 1964 at age thirty-nine. The manuscript, consisting of 378 pages of typed and handwritten material, was considered unpublishable for over fifty years. Award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson spent more than a decade studying and organizing the manuscript, transcribing the pages, and reconstructing potential scenes to offer a glimpse into O’Connor’s intended direction. Wilson’s book introduces O'Connor’s unfinished work, exploring its themes and providing insights into the novelist's creative process.Original Language: English
