About Mary Flannery O'Connor ( 1925-1964). Mary Flannery O'Connor was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1925 and lived in the family's home at 207 East Charlton Street until 1938. It was in the back yard of this Lafayette Square home where 5-year-old Mary Flannery O'Connor taught a chicken to walk backwards.
One of Georgia's most beloved storytellers got her start at the modest house on Lafayette Square. O'Connor's unflinching portrayals of life in the South, generously infused with wit and pathos, not only won her acclaim and numerous national awards, but also opened the door for other Southern writers to a more national audience. Her works included A Good Man is Hard to Find and Wise Blood. O'Connor is considered one of the most important voices in American literature, particularly one of America's greatest fiction writers and one of the strongest apologists for Roman Catholicism in the twentieth century.
"In the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells. Fiction is the most impure and the most modest and the most human of the arts." -- Flannery O'Connor, "The Catholic Novelist in the Protestant South," in Mystery and Manners (1969).
