Flannery O’Connor: Wise Blood and Relationships

Continuing the success we have had with excellent “O’Connor Guest Scholars,” and building upon our community’s cumulative experience with O’Connor, we will extend our study of “Special Topics: Flannery O’Connor.” We will revisit O’Connor’s first novel, “Wise Blood,” then pause to reflect on how it compares to her second novel, “The Violent Bear It Away.” We will explore O’Connor’s use of Scripture and the long term publishing partnership she had with her editor, Robert Giroux.
