Flannery O'Connor and the Perils of Governing by Tenderness

By Jerome C. Foss

Flannery O'Connor's fiction continues to haunt American readers, in part because of its uncanny ability to remind us who we are and what we need. This book reveals the extent to which O'Connor was a serious reader of the history of political philosophy and why O'Connor feared that the habit to govern by tenderness would lead to terror.
