FALL 2024 ZOOM SESSIONS:
Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 7:00pm (Eastern) - We will meet for a discussion with visiting scholar, Alex Taylor, "There is no [other] City: Flannery O'Connor and Evelyn Waugh on the Unreality and Necessity of Modern Political Life."
Join us for an interesting interdisciplinary take on the work of Flannery O'Connor. Taylor, the inaugural recipient of the Jean M. and William C. Laidlaw Junior Scholar Fellowship, spent time this summer with the O'Connor manuscripts in Special Collections at GCSU. His lecture is based on his dissertation in progress in the English Department at the University of Dallas. Taylor was a participant in the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institute, “Reconsidering Flannery O'Connor,” held at Georgia College in June 2023.

Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 7:00pm (Eastern) - The Flannery O'Connor Book Club will meet to discuss O'Connor's A Prayer Journal. It's a very short book reprinting the prayers O'Connor recorded while in graduate school at Iowa. The book had a significant role in inspiring Maya Hawke's performance in Wildcat.
Copies of the book should be available from many fine booksellers. The Georgia Writers Museum expects to have copies in June, and the gift shop at Andalusia should have copies in August.
