The story was discussed in a class I took, and the professor mentioned an exchange of letters between O’Conner and a friend wherein O’Conner essentially admits that she made Mary Grace ugly because she loved the character. I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what that means ever since.

Outstanding. Might I ask, with what result? And are you contemplating her ugliness per se, or simply the character Mary Grace who happens to be ugly?

Dr. Kirk, I was reading this post the same time I read yours and thought it might be interesting to get your thoughts on this read of O'Connor.
