What a fantastic article; http://southernspaces.org/2008/glimpsing-andalusia-oconnor-hester-letters 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 - http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=28819 'It was downhill after this,' she later said. |
