Flannery. She liked to drink Coca-Cola mixed with coffee. She gave her mother, Regina, a mule for Mother’s Day. She went to bed at 9 and said she was always glad to get there. After Kennedy’s assassination she said: I am sad about the president. But I like the new one. As a child she sewed outfits for her chickens and wanted to be a cartoonist. She reluctantly traveled to Lourdes and claimed she prayed for the novel she was working on, The Violent Bear It Away, which s...he referred to as Opus Nauseous. She referred to each of her novels as Opus Nauseous. Rust Hills, the fiction editor of Esquire, put her in the middle of the red-hot center in his Literary Establishment chart of 1963. Elizabeth Hardwick took her to dinner at Mary McCarthy’s apartment, where McCarthy conceded that the communion wafer was a symbol of the Holy Ghost and a pretty good one, whereupon Flannery made her famous reply, Well, if it’s a symbol, to hell with it. Hardwick described her at Yaddo: She was a plain sort of young, unmarried girl, a little bit sickly. She had a small-town Southern accent . . . whiny. She whined. She was amusing. She was so gifted, immensely gifted. http://www.nytimes.com//03/01/books/review/Williams-t.html
