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.

someone summarized this story to me over dinner and for the life of me i can’t remember who. regardless, amazing audio link.
