Precursors of the Short Story



O

Oates, Joyce Carol

O'Connor, Flannery

Flannery O'Connor Collection at GCSU



The library website at this author's alma mater provides a one-stop research base for learning about O'Connor.

Some of the student essays are a bit too casual and adoring for you to use as models.
