Book Details

First Sentence

"Most of the readers of these letters are probably familiar with the simpler facts of Flannery O'Connor's life: that she was born in Savannah, Georgia on March 25, 1925, the only child of Edward Francis O'Connor and Regina Cline O'Connor; that she moved to Milledgeville, Georgia, her mother's birthplace, when she was twelve years old, after her father had fallen gravely ill."

Work Description

This book is a collection of letter sent by the American novellist and writer Flannery O'Connor to various persons incl. notable figures of the literary world at the time. The book is particularly significant, as the author was confined to her family home by sickness, and her letters were her main means to stay in touch with the world.
