O'CONNOR, Flannery. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Brief letter on two
sides of a generic Christmas card. In full: "I appreciated those kind
words in the Commonweal - an excellent selection of adjectives, said I
to myself. Did you see the editorial in America about Rabbit Run?
Nausesous [sic]. I hope your various projects are going well and I wish
you a Merry Christmas. Flannery OC." Although the recipient is not named
and the date not given, the reference to the review of Updike's book
dates this to 1960. The card (4-3/4" x 5-1/2") is matted with a
photograph of O'Connor (-4-1/4" x 6-1/4") and framed to an overall size
of 14-1/4" x 19-3/4" with a cutout on the reverse side to show both
sides of the card. Fine and attractively framed.
A unique piece capturing the gentle and humorous spirit of this great
author of WISE BLOOD, A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND, and THE VIOLENT BEAR
IT AWAY - a writer who had a deep impact on the literature of the South,
despite a debilitating handicap and a tragically short life. $2,500.00
