Hide Profile

Sally Fitzgerald (1917-2000) was a writer and editor of several volumes of Flannery O'Connor's letters and works. Sally and her husband, Robert Fitzgerald, met Flannery O'Connor in 1949, while O'Connor was finishing a fellowship at the Yaddo Community in New York. O'Connor then lived with the Fitzgeralds in Connecticut while writing her first novel, WISE BLOOD. In 1969, the Fitzgeralds co-edited MYSTERY AND MANNERS: OCCASIONAL PROSE OF FLANNERY O'CONNOR. Sally then embarked on the project of compiling O'Connor's letters in the early 1970s and published THE HABIT OF BEING: LETTER OF FLANNERY O'CONNOR in 1979. Fitzgerald also edited the Library of America edition of FLANNERY O'CONNOR: COLLECTED WORKS, released in 1988.
