Don’t Freak Out: Disability and the Resurrection Body in Light of the Fiction of Flannery O’Connor

The works of American author, Flannery O’Connor, reveal a grounded theology of the body through her use of the grotesque. She punctures American religious sentimentalism as inadequate to speak to the disorder of human embodied life and offers a sacramental vision of grace hidden beneath infirmity.
