For our next book club meeting, we will be discussing "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" and "Noon Wine", two short stories by

Katherine Anne Porter, Flannery O'Connor's dear friend.

​This meeting will be moderated by Dr. Caren Town. Dr. Caren J. Town is professor emerita at Georgia Southern University, where she taught American and Adolescent Literature for 36 years. She has a special fondness for Flannery O’Connor and has taught courses in her work at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Dr. Town has published a variety of articles and books on Southern women writers, YA Literature, American Realism, and censorship.

Fun fact: her first date with the man she eventually married was at the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home!​
