Description
At the opening of "Beyond the Peacock: The Reconstruction of Flannery O'Connor," in the collection of essays In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens, Alice Walker points out that in 1952 she and O'Connor lived "within minutes of each other on the same Eatonton-to-Milledgeville [Georgia] road" (42). Although Walker was eight at the time and O'Connor was twenty-eight, thinking about this geographic proximity inspired Walker to visit both O'Connor's home and her own former home in a single afternoon and to muse about the connections between her life and that of a woman who was, for Walker, "the first great modern writer from the South" (52). As Walker states, It was for her description of Southern white women that I appreciated her work at first, because when she set her pen to them not a whiff of magnolia hovered in the air (and the tree itself might never have been planted), and yes, I could say, yes, these white folks without the magnolia (who are indifferent to the tree's existence), and these black folks without melons and superior racial patience, these are like southerners that I know (52).
