ABOUT FLANNERY O'CONNOR:
Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia on March 25, 1925 and is the author of 31 short stories as well as the acclaimed novels Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away and numerous essays. Perhaps best known as a pioneering Southern gothic author who often wrote about morally flawed characters, O'Connor remains an important voice in American literature. She lived in Savannah until 1938 and drew inspiration from her childhood experiences in Georgia's First City until her death from lupus in Milledgeville, Ga. on August 3, 1964. She received the National Book Award for Fiction posthumously in 1972 for The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor.
