Lecture: Flannery O'Connor and Robert Giroux: A Publishing Partnership

Presented in partnership with The Book Lady Bookstore, this lecture by Professor Emeritus Father Patrick Samway, S.J., will shed new light on an important area of Flannery O’Connor’s life — her relationship with her editors — that has not been well documented or narrated by critics and biographers. Samway will discuss O’Connor’s personal and professional relationship with Robert Giroux, who guided her to become an internationally acclaimed writer of fiction and nonfiction, especially during the years when she suffered from lupus at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia.
