Review

"I am sure her books will live on and on in American Literature" --Elizabeth Bishop

"There is very little contemporary fiction which touches the level of Flannery O'Connor at her best." --Alan Pryce-Jones, New York Herald Tribune


Product Description

First published in 1955, The Violent Bear It Away is now a landmark in American literature. It is a dark and absorbing example of the Gothic sensibility and bracing satirical voice that are united in Flannery O'Conner's work. In it, the orphaned Francis Marion Tarwater and his cousins, the schoolteacher Rayber, defy the prophecy of their dead uncle--that Tarwater will become a prophet and will baptize Rayber's young son, Bishop. A series of struggles ensues: Tarwater fights an internal battle against his innate faith and the voices calling him to be a prophet while Rayber tries to draw Tarwater into a more "reasonable" modern world. Both wrestle with the legacy of their dead relatives and lay claim to Bishop's soul.

O'Connor observes all this with an astonishing combination of irony and compassion, humor and pathos. The result is a novel whose range and depth reveal a brilliant and innovative writers acutely alert to where the sacred lives and to where it does not.

5.0étoiles sur 5 oh, fanaticism, Juil 16 2004
This review is from: The Violent Bear It Away (Paperback)
A great introspective look on the effect of fanaticism on children. The main character, Tarwater, was kidnapped as a baby from his crazy great-uncle who thinks he is a prophet and that he must save the boy. They live, isolotaed, in the middle of the southern backwoods until the great-uncle suddenly dies, leaving the boy, now 14, to his own devices. The boy finds himself alone is a world he barely knows, having learned almost exclusively about his uncle's version of religious history and the supposed evils of the Tarwater's other living family members. To survive, the boy sets out to find his other uncle, a schoolteacher, who the great-uncle hated with a passion. Weighted down with both pride and fear, Tarwater begins to explore the real world for the first time.

A great read for anyone with an interest and perhaps mild distaste for modern religion.

5.0étoiles sur 5 ...all good children go to heaven..., Juil 2 2004
Par Jan Dierckx (Belgium, Turnhout) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Violent Bear It Away (Paperback)
This novel is about the way people (children and adults) are trying to cope with religious fanaticism. Above all it shows how the credulity of children is exploited by parents and other family members for the sake of their own fanatic ideas.
The main characters are Tarwater, a fourteen year old boy, who lives with his great-uncle in a cottage in the woods. There is Rayber, the schoolteacher, who's Tarwater's uncle. Bishop, the severe mentally disabled son of Rayber, is one of the most touching characters of the novel.
When the great-uncle dies of old age at the breakfast table, the boy puts the cottage on fire and runs off. After a while he decides to go to his uncle Rayber who tries to win the friendship of his nephew.
Though the intrigue is fairly simple it's sometimes a tragedy so dense that - at certain moments - it's almost unbearable to read further. It leaves the reader almost with a feeling that all the misery of the world has landed upon his shoulders. Only after a few moments he can fool himself by saying that it's only fiction, so why worry.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A Far-fetched Tale, Mai 20 2004
Par Justin Baas (Newburgh, Indiana United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Violent Bear It Away (Paperback)
Many of the themes in this book were just to difficult for me to focus on without stepping back to question whether anything like this could really happen....at least in this way. For instance, the lack of emphasis on the drowing death of Bishop is just hard to understand. What about Tarwater's moral accountability for Bishop's death?? Tarwater was also a heavy drinker....which is not very likely in the time eriod this is writen, especially for his age. It was a good moral message, but i think ia little overdone.
