Jon Lance Bacon, the screenwriter of our upcoming Oh Crappy Day feature, has just published an essay in a collection called Approaches to Teaching the Works of Flannery O’Connor.
In his essay, “Restoring Connections: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Wise Blood,” Lance discusses the portrayal of World War II veterans in O’Connor’s 1952 novel and a 1946 film drama called Till the End of Time. Over the years, Lance has written many works of literary criticism and cultural analysis, including his 1993 book, Flannery O’Connor and Cold War Culture, published by Cambridge University Press.
The new essay collection, published by the Modern Language Association (MLA), is now available on Amazon.
