  1. Flannery O'Connor, born #OTD in 1925.

    In my latest blog post, I'm sharing a short selection of films and other resources on this amazing Southern author - one of the best representatives of the Southern Gothic genre. (And one of my all-time favourite writers! ❤️)

  3. "A propos des problèmes féministes, je vous avoue que je n'y réfléchis guère, c'est-à-dire que je me soucie peu de répartir les qualités humaines en celles qui sont spécifiquement féminines ou masculines. Il me semble que je divise les gens eu deux catégories : les Ennuyeux et les autres, sans que le sexe intervienne. Mais il y a aussi les Demi-Ennuyeux et les Ennuyeux Définitifs."
    A "A", 22 septembre 1956.

    "Si Flannery O Connor dépeint des violeurs, des meurtriers, des vagabonds, sur fond de crise économique et de défiance entre les générations, personne n’échappe à sa levée du voile et surtout pas la classe moyenne américaine bien sous tous rapport. Jeunes mariés, enfants, adolescents, simples d’esprit, grands-parents, elle nous invite à ne pas nous fier aux apparences et lève le voile sur la banalité du mal, la pitié dangereuse, le rationalisme aporétique, l’antisémitisme diffus, le mépris quotidien, le paternalisme usuel."

  5. Just read Flannery O'Connor's A Prayer Journal. It is extremely short: though the printed book has about 100 pages, the journal only occupies 38 pages (with large spaces...); the rest is introduction and scanned images of the actual journal. It's pretty clear that it was never intended for publication. The best bit is the end: "Today I have proved myself a glutton - for Scotch oatmeal cookies and erotic thought. There is nothing left to say of me."

  11. La red es un sistema insondable: no está viva ni tiene conciencia, pero a veces parece un animal caprichoso.
    Por ejemplo, en los últimos días este ha sido el #cuento más visitado en #LasHistorias. ¿Lo encargaron en una clase? ¿La gente tiene miedo de los #estadounidenses? ¿Es por el #centenario de Flannery O'Connor?

  13. «La gente sin esperanza no solo no escribe #novelas: más para el caso, no las lee. No miran largamente ninguna cosa, porque les falta el valor. El camino a la desesperación es negarse a cualquier tipo de #experiencia, y la novela, por supuesto, es un modo de tener experiencia.»

  15. "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" - but our books on #SouthernGothic writer #FlanneryOConnor, who was #BOTD 100 years ago, are not! Some of them are in our reading room, whereas others, like this #firstedition of her famous #shortstory collection, await your order in the stacks

  16. @openculture I'd rather read about #AynRand heroes than #FlanneryOConnor’s grotesque characterizations.

    O'Connor, like most of her contemporaries and intellectuals since, probably didn't read Rand and instead parroted the repeated misrepresentations of a few ideological axe-grinders.

  18. Well acted, beautifully shot, and interestingly staged, Wildcat and its story of the writing life of Flannery O'Connor, combined with depictions of her short stories, is a contemplative work that covers the nature and complexity of creativity, devout religious faith, and the intertwining of both with writing truth, and truthfully.

    When she fell, it triggered a visceral response reminding me of my ongoing, physical struggle.

  21. Reading Flannery O’Connor for the first time. Her short stories are intense. Her prose is stellar. The descriptions are well done.

  23. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Visually impressive but structurally a mess, the #film weaves between #FlanneryOConnor's life and fiction with a timeline that makes the viewer's head spin. #LauraLinney + #PhilipEttinger shine. Directed by #EthanHawke

  25. The short story "Revelation" by
    Flannery O'Connor which tells the tale of a self-satisfied
    woman who encounters a nasty shock forcing her to
    take stock of who she really is, seems apt for this time.

    #CreepyMAGA & the #Christofascists are self-satisfied. That is the problem. Besides racism, of course.
