I’m not teaching her time period this term, but I usually throw in some Flannery O’Connor whenever I can.
One of the most extraordinary meditations on religion and the role of spirituality in society comes from beloved author Flannery O’Connor, whose writing blended her Catholic faith with strong secular themes of ethics and moral philosophy, and nowhere does her singular spirit shine more luminously than in The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O’Connor (public library). —Brain Pickings.

There is always a time and a place for Flannery.
I learned to love her work from your class – she’s still one of my favorite writers.
