Flannery O'Connor Book Club

The Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home (FOCCH), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the legacy of one of the South’s greatest writers, invites you join its March Book Club to discuss Nathanael West’s The Day of the Locust, a novel about the beguilement of Hollywood and the American dream.
This book club will be moderated by Janie Bragg, Director of the FOCCH and former Hollywood employee. Reservations are recommended as capacity is limited.
Based on Flannery O’Connor’s published collection of letters from 1948 to 1964, The Habit of Being, the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home selected novels, plays, short stories, and essays that Flannery read and discussed with her correspondents to read and discuss with you in the parlor of her childhood home. ​

This event is free and open to any interested reader. All of our book club selections are financially accessible. Each selection can be rented at the library, bought for less than $10, and found online as a free pdf. Please email us at info@flanneryoconnorhome.org if you would like assistance acquiring this book. Donations appreciated. Visit flanneryoconnorhome.org/flannery-reading-club to reserve your spot!
