Flannery O’Connor: Novel and Story

We will continue our O’Connor journey through two of her later works—reading and discussing The Violent Bear It Away, her second novel, published in 1960, and one short story, A Circle in the Fire, published in 1955. As in the past, we will continue to leverage “O’Connor Guest Scholars” to lead our discussions and add their insights on her unforgettable characters and stories. We invite newcomers to join, and welcome back our regular O’Connor fans.
