Description: "Filled with contemporary and historical photos, this guide introduces O'Connor's readers to the places where the great writer lived and worked-places whose features and details sometimes found their way into her fiction." "The guide describes such places as O'Connor's childhood home in Savannah; the Governor's Mansion, Cline House, and Central State Hospital in Milledgeville; and the family farm, Andalusia. Numerous facts about O'Connor and the people closest to her are woven into the site descriptions, as are critical observations about her Catholicism, her acute sense of character and place, and her fierce sense of humor."--book jacket.
