Answer:
b. Perhaps O'Connor was laughing from beyond.
Explanation:
In the article written by Linda McGovern titled <em>"A Good Writer is Hard to Find: The Search for Flannery O'Connor"</em>, she recounts how she and her husband had tried to locate the graveside of the famous writer Flannery O'Connor. Despite her popularity, her grave was much difficult to locate, so much so that the writer had to ask a local resident for help.
When she and her husband first arrived at the cemetery, they though finding the grave will be an easy task, considering the popularity of the dead writer. But despite their full efforts, they couldn't seem to find it. This difficulty in locating the grave leads Linda to wonder if <em>"this [was] another way O’Connor was laughing from beyond"</em>. <u>This was her reaction to the difficulty they encountered in trying to find the grave of the famous author Flannery O'Connor. </u>
It hasn't and probably it never will.
It is also philosophically dangerous to equate civilization to good and savagery to evil. After all, we as so called civilized men would be inherently biased in assuming that we represent the positive side of this equation while nature's savages, or that which is the antitheses of what's civilized, represents or equates evil.

Answer:
In the days of the Raj, a newly arrived Scotland Yard detective is confronted with the murder of a British official, and in his mouth is a note warning the British to leave India, or else...
Calcutta, 1919. Captain Sam Wyndham, former Scotland Yard detective, is a new arrival to Calcutta. Desperately seeking a fresh start after his experiences during the Great War, Wyndham has been recruited to head up a new post in the police force. He is immediately overwhelmed by the heady vibrancy of the tropical city, but with barely a moment to acclimatize or to deal with the ghosts that still haunt him, Wyndham is caught up in a murder investigation that threatens to destabilize a city already teetering on the brink of political insurgency.
The body of a senior official has been found in a filthy sewer, and a note left in his mouth warns the British to quit India, or else. Under tremendous pressure to solve the case before it erupts into increased violence on the streets, Wyndham and his two new colleagues - arrogant Inspector Digby and Sergeant Banerjee, one of the few Indians to be recruited into the new CID - embark on an investigation that will take them from the opulent mansions of wealthy British traders to the seedy opium dens of the city.
Masterfully evincing the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial Calcutta, A Rising Man is the start of an enticing new historical crime series.
