Short Stories of Flannery O’Connor
Saturday, October 29 and Saturday, November 12
9-11am
Dr. Mary Reichardt rejoins us for two Saturday morning sessions examining one of the 20th century’s most prominent American and Catholic writers. Although her works are sometimes difficult at first glance, O'Connor's self-described “Christian realism" always leads her readers back to the essential truths of Jesus' Cross and Resurrection. To get the most out of these two discussion sessions, please read the stories in advance and come prepared with questions. Purchase the short story collection, “Everything that Rises Must Converge”. Or you can opt to purchase “The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor”.
How to prepare for Session 1 on October 29th:
Dr. Reichardt will introduce O'Connor's major themes as well as guide our discussion of two stories that bookend her last published collection. Read the two stories: "Everything that Rises Must Converge" and "Revelation." The stories to read for Session 2 will be communicated subsequently.
