520 |a This article argues that the philosophical themes of alterity, anarchy, and the absolute found in the writings of Emmanuel Levinas can best help to adumbrate a number of religious, moral, and imaginative distortions that Flannery O'Connor forces upon her implied readers. After explaining these terms and defending the appropriateness of a Levinasian hermeneutic, the essay then uses these themes to offer an interpretation of 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' and 'Revelation'. Such an interpretation has the advantage of bringing to the fore O'Connor's profound sense of ethical relations, and allows one to see her writings in a new light.
