"Referring to how you say African Americans are painfully underrepresented in Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, I am in complete agreement. It is disheartening to think of O’Connor’s attempt to project a semi-documentarian style of Gothic literature as excluding very present members of the society it portrays. I think there are very curious distinctions made by the author upon the types of people she wants represented - It seems Flannery O’Connor is happy to critique religion in a world fully entrenched in segregationism, which lays sadly untouched by her."
