About this ebook
“Wise Blood” by Flannery O’Connor was first published in 1952. It was the author’s debut novel. This novel gets its form from several desperate stories that had already been published in Mademoiselle, Sewanee Review and Partisan Review.
The story primarily tells about a returning veteran from the Second World War. That soldier suffers from a lifelong crisis of faith. However, he decides to create an anti-religious ministry in a Southern town that is said to be an eccentric place.
