... as I have here. Well, sure I can. I can simply say 'I am happy to have found such kindred souls.' I'm a great fan of FOC, and look forward to reading and...
Well Steve, it has to be said your parents were endowed with impeccable taste in names and I'm sure there's at least two others here with similarly endowed...
Would any of you fans out there happen to know what bible verse O'Connor might have used in A Good Man is Hard to Find. The odometer reads 55890 and the...
Hello Amanda, I think you have to be careful not to read too much into Ms O'Connor's work - people were always guessing at the significance of this or that in...
I'm working on a project on Flannery O'Connor, and I think it would add to my presentation if I had a documentary or at least a clip to show about her. Does...
In reference to your question, check out the website www.georgiawomen.org where you will find a short video on O'Connor (about 3 minutes long). Hope this...
Welcome welcome welcome to the members who have tuned into this, the modestly rendered and garishly coloured FOCFP, since the inception of our humble Internet...
That's an interesting question you raise and one that's just been the subject of Barbara Nicolosi's blog, Church of The Masses, posted on Oct 26 and can be...
Gary, I've skim read your loooong post but one thing did catch my eye and that was this "because, as yall should well know, the *means* often takes precedence...
If I remember correctly, when FOC was at the Iowa writers MA program, her accent was so very pronounced that she could not speak to her advisor - she had to...
Hey y'all: I'm new here and wanted to shoot y'all a quick introduction. I'm Jon in Austin. Worked on my BA in English and worked on my MA in Fayetteville AR....
Heya John, nice to see some new blood. Besides our recent influx of mortgage specialists and off-brand medical hucksters that is (sorry for letting that get...
Thanks for the welcome! "New blood here," all right: just don't call me new "wise" blood. :) "Everything That Rises" was my 2nd introduction to FOC -- the...
There, I corrected the spelling of your name in the "Re" at least :-) Pretty good "from memory" quote. Thass about right! I loved that "selling typewriters is...
That's an excellent way of putting it: "I don't think the concept of the 'sympathetic character' really exists in her fiction." When I was a TA in grad...
About that alternate ending for "A Temple Of The Holy Ghost". I've had a good head scratch about that one and I think you may be wrong. Unfortunately my copy...
Thanks for the info Steve. One thing is for sure: the book I had it in I no longer own. But in that same anthology, it also had 2 pages of the story she was...
Jon, the name of that two page piece was "Why Do The Heathen Rage" and had O'Connor lived longer would probably have formed the start of another novel - well...
Steve: I'm sure even O'Connor would have been pleased not to have made it given the Ivory Tower dwellings many of those literary folk inhabit. That thought did...
I wasn't as fortunate as you were Jon, to cut my 'fiction' teeth on O'Connor, not encountering her until I was 54 (10 years ago). But since then reading other...
Letter from Katherine Mansfield to S. S. Koteliansky* August 1922 I hope you are better. If you need a doctor, Sorapure is a good man – intelligent and...
Steve: Hey man. I do remember "Miss Brill" in high school, I just didn't remember it was K. Mansfield. At some later date I read a story I think is called...
Yes Jon, I too noticed that Malamud collection referenced in Habit of Being and though I know it's available locally so far I've not felt tempted to indulge -...
Steve: Reading _The Magic Barrel_ I could immediately see why FOC liked Malamud. Insofar as she had a fear of being labled "a regional writer" (...as for...
