The letters of Flannery O'Connor and Caroline Gordon
\"Flannery and Caroline: The Letters of Flannery O'Connor and Caroline Gordon, 1951-1964 is a full, annotated collection of the letters between two of the South's most acclaimed writers, from 1951 to 1964, the year of O'Connor's death. To date, only nine letters of the O'Connor-Gordon correspondence, scattered across four publications, so this volume will fill a major gap in our understanding of the two writers. Gordon (1895-1981), a more established writer at the start of their correspondence, acted as a mentor to the younger O'Connor (1924-1964). Gordon offered critical commentary on early versions of such legendary O'Connor stories as \"A Good Man is Hard to Find\" and \"The Displaced Person,\" as well as O'Connor's debut novel, Wise Blood. Over the course of thirteen years, the letters in this collection reveal a deep friendship between two literary masters, as well as their roots, influences, concerns, and regrets\"-- Provided by publisher.

Workshopping Flannery O'Connor's \The Displaced Person\
On social hierarchy and race, the women fall silent. Workshop Goals During a fifteen-week college semester, I ask students to workshop \"The Displaced Person\" over three classes, before we begin our own peer reviews.4 Goals of this workshop include the following: o To develop skills in close reading: to be an attentive and intelligent reader curious to learn the craft of writing fiction; o To learn how to offer written and verbal feedback in a workshop; o To illustrate revision as a process of re-thinking the story; o To connect culture and craft: to engage in intentional cultural self-education; to foster awareness of race, social hierarchy, and white privilege; and to learn how we (the workshop) can discuss this constructively. 7 With Flannery O'Connor as our featured author, our workshop will clarify the distinction between literary analysis and a working writer's analysis of a text. Version 1 of \"The Displaced Person\" (1954) Workshopping O'Connor's writing allows me to teach and model some ideal characteristics of a creative writing workshop, characteristics often conflated with simple literary analysis. (See Table on page 20 for suggestions on how to assign passages for group analysis during the workshop of VI and V2.) During this early analysis, students quickly appreciate O'Connor's dynamic characterization.

Donald A. Thomson (1932-2022), A Remembrance
An obituary for Donald A. Thomson, the professor emeritus of the University of Arizona who died in 2022, is presented. Thomson enjoyed saying he was a marine scientist and ichthyologist in the Sonoran Desert. Those dissonant images invariably opened conversations revealing Thomson's passion for marine science and his research program of over 40 years in the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). Thomson produced major contributions to knowledge about the ecology and ichthyofauna of the Gulf.

Social Distortion: Displaced Landscapes and the Machines of Progress in Flannery O'Connor's \The Displaced Person\ and \A View of the Woods\
Resident farmers are introduced to the Hudson Tractor Company's shiny new Ford Golden Jubilee tractor, which features the \"Most Advanced Hydraulic System of any Tractor!\" Attaching mounted instruments-the disc harrow, the two bottom plow-will take only 60 seconds, and newspaper ads promise that this machine will ease farmers' reliance on inferior manpower (Ford 2). Twenty years ago, ecocritic Lawrence Buell defined four key aspects of environmentally oriented work: \"The nonhuman environment . . . suggest[s] that human history is implicated in natural history\"; \"The human interest is not understood to be the only legitimate interest\"; \"Human accountability to the environment is part of the text's ethical orientation\"; and there is \"some sense of the environment as a process rather than as a constant\" (Environmental 7).
