Mark Scarbrough returns to OWL; leading us through 8 weeks of some of his favorite Flannery O’Connor works.
Attendance at all sessions is not necessary.
Registration for In-Person is required.
Attendance on Zoom does NOT require registration
Flannery O’Connor is considered one of America’s greatest fiction writers and her writing often reflects her Catholic faith, and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics.
When she died in August of 1964, The New York Times called her “one of the nation’s most promising writers.”
O’Connor is now as canonical as Faulkner and Welty. More than a great writer, she’s a cultural figure: a funny lady in a straw hat, puttering among peacocks, on crutches she likened to “flying buttresses.”
Discussion Schedule: (no class Friday 4/18)
April 4: Wise Blood: chapters 8 – 14
April 11: The Violent Bear It Away: chapters 1 – 5

The 25 sights and places you should visit when you retire, or before!
In recent years there have been a multitude of books charting the thousands of places you must see, such as gardens, historic sights, churches or cemeteries, before you die. Let’s consider the thrill of visiting and exploring some of these unique places as you retire, or simply have the inclination to travel at any time.
Dr. Richard Benfield, past chair of Geography at CCSU and a visitor to over 137 countries, will outline his Top 25 list. He will eschew the obvious and popular (Sistine Chapel, Big Ben, Grand Canyon) and take you on what Robert Frost called the road less travelled; places for adventure and places rarely mentioned in “1000 places you must see.”
Thus, we will see the oldest human-made artifact in the world (800,000 years old), 40,000-year-old Paleolithic Art, the great cathedrals of Europe, majestic mountains, the Panama Canal, gorillas in the mist and much more. Join us for this visually inspiring one-hour journey and get valuable tips for your next big adventure.
