Flannery O'Connor and Madeleine L'Engle are my two favorite American authors. They shared a common no-nonsense view, a commitment to their faith regardless of how unorthodox they were perceived, and they both wrote stories that made people think more deeply. I taught O'Connor in my American Lit classes. That she was a Catholic woman in the 1950s Bible Belt makes her success all the more inspiring.
