GHS presents this classroom-ready resource that encourages students to explore Flannery O'Connor. Flannery O’Connor is widely considered one of America’s most talented fiction writers. Fifty years after her death at the young age of thirty-nine, her life and work continue to inspire readers and storytellers around the globe. A Georgia native born in Savannah on March 25, 1925, she spent a large part of her life in Milledgeville before her death there on August 3, 1964. She published two novels, Wise Blood (1952) and The Violent Bear It Away (1960), and two short story collections, A Good Man is Hard to Find (1955) and Everything that Rises Must Converge (1965). O’Connor’s Complete Stories received the National Book Award posthumously in 1972.
