Milledgeville is a city in and the county seat of Baldwin County in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is northeast of Macon along U.S. Highway 441 and is bordered on the east by the Oconee River. The rapid current of the river here made this an attractive location to build a city. It was the capital of Georgia from 1804 to 1868, notably during the American Civil War. Milledgeville was preceded as the capital city by Louisville and was succeeded by Atlanta, the current capital.
The population of the town of Milledgeville was 18,382 at the 2010 census.

Flannery OConnors fiction offers an example of what Catholic art can achieve when its fully informed by a sophisticated theological understanding, a rigorous philosophical background, and also the kind of dedication to craft, to the artistry of writing that she combined.
John Wauck is a professor of literature and the communication of the faith at the University of the Holy Cross. He says the conference was organized in large part to introduce Flannery OConnor to an international audience.

Shes very well known in the United States but shes not that well known outside. And it requires a certain amount of preparation for a non-American to understand Flannery OConnor. So thats a large part of what this conference is about.
Louise Florencourt is Flannery OConnors cousin. She says the influence of OConnors Catholic faith was always present in her work.

Her message is a Catholic message. But she writes in a secular context. She lived in a secular world.
Flannery OConnor was a devout Catholic living in the conservative protestant South of the United States. She died in 1964 after battling lupus for over ten years. However, her legacy continues to be admired and analyzed the world over.

Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925 August 3, 1964) was an American novelist, short-story writer and essayist. Flannery O'Connor was the only child of Edward F. O'Connor and Regina Cline OConnor. Her father was diagnosed with lupus in 1937; he died on February 1, 1941 when Flannery was 16. The disease was hereditary in the O'Connor family and Flannery O'Connor was devastated by the loss of her father O'Connor described herself as a pigeon-toed child with a receding chin and a you-leave-me-alone-or-I'll-bite-you complex. When O'Connor was six she taught a chicken to walk backwards, and it was this that led to her first experience of being a celebrity. The Pathé News people filmed Little Mary O'Connor with her trained chicken, and showed the film around the country. She said, When I was six I had a chicken that walked backward and was in the Pathe News. I was in it too with the chicken. I was just there to assist the chicken but it was the high point in my life. Everything since has been anticlimax.

The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage, by Paul Elie, Copyright 2003, Farrar, Straus & Giroux Various sources incorrectly cite Ridgefield, Connecticut as Fitzgerald's home from the 1940s into the 1960s. He, in fact, lived on Seventy Acres Road in the adjacent town of Redding, Connecticut. He and Flannery O'Connor used a Ridgefield mailing address on their correspondence because, in those days, rural delivery to that portion of Redding was done by the Ridgefield post office. This has been confirmed by articles that have appeared in The Redding Pilot, the local newspaper, as well as searches through Ridgefield and Redding records.

Do You Reverse? (1932)
United States of America.
Introductory intertitle reads: Here's an odd fowl, that walks backward to go forward so she can look behind to see where she went!
M/S of a little girl who the narrator tells us is called Mary O'Connor (note: this is American author Flannery O'Connor as a little girl) from Savannah, Georgia (at least that is what it sounds like). Mary holds a chicken which she lifts onto her shoulder. C/U of the chicken as it walks backwards. Narrator claims that this is the only chicken in the world that walks backwards.
It looks pretty realistic and then we see geese and ducks walking backwards too so it is presumably a camera trick using film reversal technique. Shots of cows and horses seeming to walk and trot backwards.
