1. Flannery O'Connor/"All Things That Rise Must Converge"
1. A book that made me extremely tired. The title "Everything that rises must converge" comes from the vitalist expression "Omega Point" by the French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin (who spent a lot of time in China).
This is a very religious theory of the unity of all things, and religion is also the core of O'Connor's literary world. She often quotes words and sentences from the Bible, but for someone like me who is not familiar with the Bible For people, it does not cause much difficulty in understanding.
2. At first, I was delighted by O'Connor's expression of humor and cruelty
1. In terms of language, she is simply a joker, often putting herself into the character's perspective and penetrating into the story. Others are sarcastic, for example, the original words of a person in a daze are "carefully studied the air on the left hand side", which is particularly funny.
2. Structurally, she always lays out the story in a long way, patiently and meticulously unfolding each point, letting the contradiction slowly ferment, and then suddenly disappearing at a certain point. The main character either dies or is filled with confusion. The smell of death. It has the feel of a black comedy.
3. O'Connor's Satire
1. I thought she was satirizing those "superficial hypocrisies" that use faith, righteousness, and morality to wrap up and hide selfishness, hatred, and exclusiveness. I'm quite smug because I know Diary of a Madman by heart.
2. I even planned to write a book review using the square dancing aunt who occupied public places as an example, but as I was reading, I asked a friend why I felt so tired while reading? Not to mention, I immediately knew where my tiredness came from.
