Instructor: Brandy Horne is the head of instruction/reference at the Gregg-Graniteville Library. Prior to coming to USCA in 2012, Horne had been in Milledgeville, GA, attending and later working at Georgia College, formerly the Georgia State College for Women, Flannery O’Connor’s alma mater. Steeped in all things Flannery, Horne became a devout fan and is happy to have the opportunity to share the joy. Description: Widely considered one of America’s greatest writers, O’Connor once said, “When I was six, I had a chicken that walked backward and was in the Pathé News. I was in it too with the chicken. I was just there to assist the chicken, but it was the high point of my life. Everything since has been an anticlimax.” In this course, we’ll talk about her work, her anticlimactic life, and her affinity for weird birds.
