She said:"I am tired of reading reviews that call A Good Man brutal and sarcastic," she writes. "The stories are hard but they are hard because there is nothing harder or less sentimental than Christian realism... when I see these stories described as horror stories I am always amused because the reviewer always has hold of the wrong horror." --Flannery O' ConnorJohnson (pen name for John H. Byk) grew up in Detroit, Michigan. Not the suburbs. In the city. He escaped violence and despair by going to sea and studying literature and then earning his M.A. in Classical and Modern Literature. What does he do? He is the mode equivalent of Thoreau. In his Walden, located in the remote backwoods of Michigan's Upper peninsula, he fishes and all with a dog by his side, loving nature and viewing the world from afar and liking not much of it. He is a singer, writer, eye on the ridiculous and telling us about it so that it scares us to death. Mostly, he is the most wonderful champion of anyone with a creative thought in their head. If they treat him like a writer, he will treat them in kind like they truly have something to say on his podcast blog at writersalive.comvoir moins
