Boxes 36-42
Scope and Content Note
The other writings subseries is comprised of lectures, articles/essays, book reviews, and miscellaneous research notes from circa 1978-2000. Much of this subseries is made up of the talks Fitzgerald gave on Flannery O'Connor for more than two decades. Fitzgerald often recycled her material, polishing her ideas with each presentation. The talks and essays enlighten readers about subjects ranging from O'Connor's personal life to the symbolism in her writing. The lectures entitled "Other People's Mail" and "Flannery O'Connor's Letters" describe the difficulties Fitzgerald faced collecting and publishing O'Connor's letters. The essay "A Moving Target" discusses the film version of O'Connor's novel Wise Blood, which two of Sally's sons produced and wrote. The series also contains two interviews of Fitzgerald; one by Liz Evans in circa 1994 and the other by Susan Howe at Brigham Young University in 1995.
