{"product_id":"wise-blood-a-novel-fsg-classics","title":"Wise Blood: A Novel (FSG Classics)","description":"The American short story master Flannery O'Connor's haunting first novel of faith, false prophets, and redemptive wisdom.\n\nWise Blood, Flannery O'Connor's astonishing and haunting first novel, is a classic of twentieth-century literature. It is the story of Hazel Motes, a twenty-two-year-old caught in an unending struggle against his inborn, desperate fate. He falls under the spell of a \"blind\" street preacher named Asa Hawks and his degenerate fifteen-year-old daughter, Sabbath Lily. In an ironic, malicious gesture of his own non-faith, and to prove himself a greater cynic than Hawks, Motes founds the Church Without Christ, but is still thwarted in his efforts to lose God. He meets Enoch Emery, a young man with \"wise blood,\" who leads him to a mummified holy child and whose crazy maneuvers are a manifestation of Motes's existential struggles.\n\nThis tale of redemption, retribution, false prophets, blindness, blindings, and wisdom gives us one of the most riveting characters in American fiction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374530637\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0374530637.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:O'Connor, Flannery\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in good condition.
