O’Connor Letters To Finally Be Unsealed

“In an event highly anticipated by [Flannery] O’Connor scholars and fans, her nearly 300 letters to [close friend Betty Hester] will be opened to the public Saturday at Emory University, where, at Hester’s request, they have been kept under seal for 20 years. The archive is expected to reveal much about the nature of their relationship, as well as O’Connor’s attitudes about subjects from civil rights to homosexuality.”
