Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home to Host July 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 to join its summer book club meeting to discuss The Moviegoer, Walker Percy’s debut novel. The Moviegoer won the U.S. National Book Award and Time included it in its “Time 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.”

This discussion will be moderated by Olivia Floyd, Upper School English teacher at Savannah Country Day School. 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 edited by Sally Fitzgerald, the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home has 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, or found online as a free pdf. Please email us at info@flanneryoconnorhome.org if you would like assistance acquiring this book. Donations appreciated.
