wise blood by flannery the weirdo

wise blood is the weirdest fucking book. it's like another planet. these little southern towns are insane. everyone is so terse and so cooped up and ready to be violent and they're all driven by something i don't understand. i don't know why they make all these aggressive come ons. they're all kind of insane. they're ALL extremely stupid, i think. is this thing like The Stranger for gigantically repressed and devout southerners? where, how could any of these people be happy? enoch's the only one who seems to have the capacity to be happy but he has it so he slobbers like a desperate dog. what the fuck is with this book. i liked the scene with the potato peeler salesman.
