As part of the Spring Lecture Series, the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home will welcome Jonathan Haupt, executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center, and authors Sallie Ann Robinson and John Warley, at 4 p.m., on Sunday, March 15, 2020, for a presentation of Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy, a collection of recollections by writers mentored, inspired, befriended, and championed by the late Pat Conroy.

Robinson, a Gullah chef, cookbook author, and native of Daufuskie Island, was a student of Conroy's and was one of the students featured in his memoir, The Water is Wide. Warley, a Citadel classmate of Conroy's, is the author of five novels and a nonfiction account of his alma mater's lasting legacy.

Haupt, Robinson and Warley are among the 67 contributors to Our Prince of Scribes, including Rick Bragg, Kathleen Parker, Nathalie Dupree, Mary Alice Monroe, and Ron Rash. Copies of the book will be available for purchase after the talk.
 
The event is free and open to the public. It will take place in the parlor of the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home, located at 207 E. Charlton St. on Lafayette Square in downtown Savannah.
