Plan to read the book and discuss Wise Blood, by Flannery O’Connor. This was Flannery O'Connor's first novel, published in 1952, which follows Hazel Motes, a World War II veteran who returns to a deserted hometown and grapples with his rejection of faith. He attempts to establish an anti-religious ministry called the “Church Without Christ,” encountering various eccentric characters and exploring themes of belief, sin, and redemption throughout his tumultuous journey. Please come and bring friends. Delicious snacks will be provided.
