Anyone read O'Connor? I haven't but am reaching her slowly via Capote and McCullers.

Yes, I think you'd like her stories, Tony. Some of them are very good indeed, and quite unsettling. Her novel Wise Blood is worth tracking down, too.

I'm a huge fan of the film of WISE BLOOD and have been for many years - keep meaning to read the book.

This is actually Flannery as a kid; she trained the chicken to do this and it got shown all round the world -
