Coulthard, A. R. “From Sermon to Parable: Four Conversion Stories by Flannery O'Connor.” American Literature, vol. 55, no. 1, 1983, pp. 55–71. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/2925882.
Most of O'Connor's stories, of course, are about sin and redemption, but not all of them depict "the action of grace on a character."

O'Connor has seemed to depend less upon the determinations effected by form than upon those achieved by instruction. O'Connor simply tells her readers--either through narrative interventions or by extra-textual exhortations--how they are to interpret her work.

American Gargoyles by Anthony Di Renzo

ISBN: 0809320304
Publication Date: 1995
Anthony Di Renzo argues that O’Connor’s Gothicism brings her tales closer in spirit to the English mystery cycles and the leering gargoyles of medieval architecture than to the Gothic fiction of Poe and Hawthorne to which critics have so often linked her work.
