Flannery O’Connor dies in Georgia
Listen to Flannery O’Connor read A Good Man is Hard to Find at Vanderbilt in 1959. Still one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard… but Wise Blood is my favorite book, so I am a bit biased.
Also: What a crazy day for deaths!

A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor
This is a recording from 1959 of Flannery O’Connor herself reading A Good Man is Hard to Find at Vanderbilt University.
Probably one of the coolest things in the world right now. Also, it’s included in the special features of John Huston’s film version of Wise Blood, recently released in the Criterion Collection.
Finally opened my DVD copy of John Huston’s (really Flannery O’Connor’s) Wise Blood, and holy shit it includes a “rare” recording of Flannery O’Connor herself reading A Good Man is Hard to Find on the radio in 1959.
To finally hear her voice, it’s crazy. Much more Southern than I would have expected.
I think I might post it here, because, if you’re a real big fan of O’Connor’s, I think you’ll really enjoy it, if only to hear her voice.

Ahhh, want!
That’s probably my favorite book, but I’m just not sure I want to see the movie version. On the other hand, I already bought it.
I live in Memphis, TN. Here, you'll mostly find electronic music posts because I love it more than anything in the world. I also make Tumblr themes and fiddle with faddle, so there will be some of that stuff here, too."Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest." -Linus
