ABOUT THIS BOOK:
At Home with Flannery O'Connor features interviews with people who knew the writer, either personally or professionally, while she lived at Andalusia, in Milledgeville, Georgia, from 1951 until her death in 1964. The book includes interviews with nearby friends who visited O'Connor and were familiar with Andalusia, such as Louise Abbot, Mary Barbara Tate, Marion Montgomery, Sister Loretta Costa, and Jack and Frances Thornton. Also included are individuals who corresponded and/or visited with O'Connor about writing and matters of faith, such as Miller Williams, Robert Giroux, Cecil Dawkins, Alfred Corn, and Ashley Brown.
The interviews were conducted by Frances Florencourt, Craig Amason, Alice Friman, Bruce Gentry, and Sarah Gordon. This volume also includes a collection of photographs of Flannery O'Connor and Andalusia from 1951 to the early 1960s. The black and white historical photographs were taken by Joe McTyre in 1962, and the color historical photographs were taken by Robert W. Mann in the summer of 1951, just after O'Connor moved back to Milledgeville. Contemporary photographs of Andalusia in the book were taken by Alexandria Daniecki.
This collection of interviews offers a chance to glimpse what it was like to know Flannery O'Connor personally -- back when it was possible to wonder whether she would manage to succeed as a writer.(Publisher). Very good / very good. Item #12214
