Southerners don't hide their skeletons in closets; they invite them into the living room to entertain at tea. This course focuses on works which examine what Flannery O'Connor defined as the Southern grotesque-individuals forced to meet the extremes of their own nature. Exploring the world created when tragic merges with comic, other writers might include Faulkner, Williams, Welty, Percy, Crews, Dickey, and Tyler.
