Question # 73
Revisit
Read the following passage and answer the given question.
Criticizing the image chosen by the United States Postal Service for the new Flannery O'Connor stamp
is beyond silly. A stamp is not a portrait to be hung on a museum wall; it is a product to be sold. Bright
colors and welcoming faces are positive — especially for authors whom many people might not know.
Would upset O'Connor fans have preferred gloomy colors to reflect the demonic children that often
inhabit her stories? Or unsettling smiling eyes to mirror the naive ignorance of her parent characters?
Maybe a burning sun and fiery cross?
The truth is that while O'Connor was a singularly talented writer, her works are almost unceasingly
dark. If anything, the Postal Service was wise to seek to honor her without stepping too deeply into her
material or personality. And it isn't as if the stamp portrays her with a broad grin
Admirers of O'Connor's work should be delighted she's receiving an honor few ever receive. We can
always get a taste of her genius from her stories without the help of a stamp.
