Bonus: [Letter from Flannery O’Connor to Brainard and Frances Cheney]

In this letter, O’Connor, who is famous for her biting humor, compares Morrissey’s photographs to “an ad for acid indigestion.” She then dryly notes that Morrissey turned her, “the old oaken bucket” into a bombshell, such as those seen on the covers of celebrity gossip magazines.
