“We do not know much for certain about the Bible Salesman’s life, as it is impossible to separate fact from fiction in what he says, but it is clear that he is a liar who takes pride in his nihilism, moving through the country taking advantage of people’s trust.”
~ Flannery O’Connor, from her short story “Good Country People” (1955)
