The main task of Just FYI Pod: Culture’s second season is to discuss "Ten Novels That Changed Our Lives." On this episode, my cohost Amy Welborn and I resume our countdown—this time focusing on the #7 novel on our respective lists. Amy begins with Things as They Are (1951), written by the American historian and novelist Paul Horgan. Meanwhile, I dive into The Violent Bear It Away, Flannery O'Connor's searing second novel, first published in 1960.
