Online O'Connor Resources
Most Recommended
Before you go
anywhere else, be sure to stop by the O'Connor Collection in the Russell Library, at Georgia
College. This is THE original site about O'Connor, and a wonderful resource.
Study Guides
One of the best all-around pages I've seen on O'Connor would have to be the Student's Guide to Flannery O'Connor, a place with reviews, paper topic suggestions, and even a trip to Milledgeville.
The New York University Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database has annotations for some of O'Connor's short fiction, as well as interesting information on other subjects.
If
you need succinct summaries of O'Connor's fiction (or the work of other major
literary figures) stop by StoryBites.

aficionados.
Other Sites with O'Connor Information
If you're looking for story summaries, photographs, and literary analysis, then The Aesthetics of Incongruity has just what you're after. This site is a bit graphics heavy and takes a minute to load up.
If you dig around the touristy stuff, there's a lot of raw information, including online and offline resources, and a chronology of her publications at the
O'Connor Childhood Home Foundation.

Who would have thought that Georgia had it's own Stonehenge? Maybe it's a little smaller than the one in Britain, but ours have a name: Guidestones to an Age of Reason.
Just outside O'Connor's home town, is a highway sign that points to a Bird of a Different Feather.
