Description
Flannery O'Connor was an American writer and essayist. She often wrote in a Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters. O'Connor said: "anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic.
Her writing also reflected her Roman Catholic faith and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics.
In 1952, O'Connor was diagnosed with lupus and returned to the family farm in Milledgeville, Georgia. She remained very active by maintaining a daily writing schedule and making appearances at lectures to read her works.
She raised and nurtured some 100 peafowl. Fascinated by birds of all kinds, she raised ducks, ostrich, emus, toucans, and any sort of exotic bird she could obtain, while incorporating images of peacocks into her books.
This artwork was selected by the National Endowment for the Humanities sponsored Summer 2023 Institute on Flannery O’Connor at Georgia College & State University.
