SUMMARY:The Hillbilly Thomist: Flannery O'Connor's Catholic Imagination
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n6:00 Dinner | 6:30 Lecture \nThis weekly non-credit course is open to current students and faculty. Registrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nThe fiction writer and essayist Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964) once complained that she was pegged as “a hillbilly nihilist\,” whereas she viewed herself as “a hillbilly Thomist.”  Her profound Catholic faith served in many respects to detach her from the rural Georgia in which she lived and worked\, and at the same time gave her a sympathy for and insight into the radical non-conformists of the Protestant South\, such that her often grotesque characters are conveyed by convincing human portraits that at the same time rise above the particulars of time and place so as to speak to the Big Questions of faith and unbelief\, salvation and damnation. \nThis course will examine in detail seven of O’Connor’s short stories\, as well as the theology and artistic convictions from which they come to be\, supplemented by letters selected from her published correspondence.  Volunteers will be recruited to prepare and read aloud brief excerpts from the stories.  No previous acquaintance with the works of O’Connor is required or presumed. \nApril 3rd\nThe Hillbilly Thomist: An introduction to O’Connor and her work. \nApril 10th\n“The Enduring Chill” \nApril 17th\n“A Temple of the Holy Ghost” \nApril 24th\n“A Late Encounter with the Enemy” \nMay 1st\n“The Life You Save May Be Your Own” \nMay 8th\n“Parker’s Back” \nMay 15th\n“A Good Man Is Hard to Find” \nMay 22nd\n“Revelation” \nYou can watch a profile of Flannery O’Connor HERE.
