    Forum Description

    Call 1.844.378.2869 for more information and mention Literary Traveler Savannah ITINERARY To read Flannery O’Connor’s fiction is to be amused, provoked, and pushed to reconsider our place in the world. A Roman Catholic and a native of Georgia, O’Connor created stories that inimitably blend humour, horror, and the mysteries of faith. While her writing is richly specific, evoking the haunting landscapes and quirky characters of the American South, it deals powerfully with universal questions: What does it mean to be good? How should we live? What is the meaning of death? How can the divine penetrate the everyday world? In her short lifetime (1925–1964), O’Connor created a powerful body of work, including two novels and a number of short stories and nonfiction pieces. Our base will be Savannah, O’Connor’s birthplace. Here we’ll visit her childhood home and explore this beautiful antebellum city’s striking architecture, most of which was saved at the eleventh hour by a determined group of local citizens. There will be time to enjoy the otherworldly Avenue of the Oaks and Bonaventure Cemetery, a Southern Gothic sculptural garden. And of course we’ll savour delicious Lowcountry seafood and the different styles of Georgia barbecue. We’ll also travel though an area of lush forests and wetlands on a day excursion to Andalusia, the O’Connor family farm where Flannery spent the last 13 years of her life and wrote many of her works. The newly restored property offers a unique glimpse into O’Connor’s life, writing process, and influence. Join Classical Pursuits on a journey to one of North America’s most beguiling cities, and into the mind and heart of a writer of uncommon imagination. For more information, see our detailed itinerary, available soon. All Travel Pursuits operate under the umbrella of our partner, Worldwide Quest (TICO Reg: #2667946).
