      New: New A woman of profound faith as well as literary genius, and a voluminous letter-writer, Flannery O'Connor becomes known to us in this collection through the immediacy of her correspondence. Miss O'Connor lived with Sally Fitzgerald and her husband for almost two years, and is eloquently described by her host: ''I have come to think that the true likeness of Flannery O'Connor will be painted by herself, a self portrait in words, to be found in her letters...There she stands, a phoenix risen from her own words: calm, slow, funny, courteous, both modest and very sure of herself, intense, sharply penetrating, devout but never pietistic, downright, occasionally fierce, and honest in a way that restores honor to the word.
