Sometimes all it takes it a slight difference of the viewing angle to cast these cardboard situations into the blingy and pimped forms of which you speak, all without leaving the realm of the believable. Even though she didn't have limbs turning in tree trunks and whatnot, Flannery O'Connor took relatively stale situations and injected them with a verve and fervor that made nearly everything that occurred some odd facet of the unknown yet known.
