Have you read her letters? (Collected in a massive volume under the title "The Habit of Being".) She was such a fascinating person for so many reasons. I can't wait to see this movie, and I truly hope they do her justice.
Yes. I think there was an article from Quilette or something that I had read. It was some personal letters she wrote that made comments on race relations. I’m not sure of the context. So I made sure to buy her anthology.
I saw this was playing a few days ago at Living Room Theater in Portland and was gonna go see it the next day but it was already gone. I was chagrined. So glad to hear it is still around - I'll be there.
I was able to catch this last month at Cinema 21 (only showed four times), so I'm thrilled it's getting another showing. The movie was everything I hoped for, though my affection for O'Connor includes a serious treatment of her Catholicism. I'm excited for y'all to catch it. Can't wait for the review!
Saw it in Milwaukee a few weeks back. Ethan Hawke was there for a Q&A. The interplay between her circumstances and imagination/inspiration for her stories was handled in a really interesting way.
True but strange, it's the old porn theater, the "Oregon." A friend tried to lease it and said the graffiti in the bathroom was jaw dropping. No pun intended. I saw the Beyonce Experience there. Well, most of it.
Nathanael West is so overlooked in modern times.
Have been wanting to see this, haven’t been able to yet.

Just watched the trailer yeah that movie looks great. Enjoy! I’ll look for it out here in SLC
If I can get a sitter I’ll be there. This looks amazing.
I will live though you. Sounds so awesome. I hate where I live! lol
Let's gooo
Going with a few friends. I can't imagine it will sell out, and the theater is a good one.
I'm soooo jelly! I wish I could go! How fun. I hope it shows up digitally somewhere! "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is everything.
I came about Shirley Jackson after I read an article about her name being removed from a university wing.
I now own me of her anthologies that was printed by. The 80s I believe?
Why was her name removed?
Posthumously cancelled for not self-censoring.
Okay. Meaning she was viewed posthumously through a modern lens and deemed unfit?
Yes. I think there was an article from Quilette or something that I had read. It was some personal letters she wrote that made comments on race relations. I’m not sure of the context. So I made sure to buy her anthology.
I'll come through!

Awwwh, yea!!!! Looking forward to it in bum funk Ohio.

This looks incredible. I haven't been out to SE Division area in a while - this may be in the cards.

I was more of a Jefferson Theater type. You know, west side.
Got it.
It was filmed here in KY jellyland. I missed the screenings last month at the Speed Museum. Damn.
There is a PBS doc from 2019 about her too.
I saw that! I'll be watching that today. Looks fantastic.
Hey Chuck,
What's your favorite Flannery O'Connor short story, and what would you teach from it if you had the time?
I've never recovered from "A Good Man is Hard to Find."
"Why would I want to come live in a broken-down place like this?"
Brutal.
"She would have been a good woman...if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."
Wonder who the record holder is for author with the most biopics. Shakespeare?
Jesus.
Non-fiction, though
Christ, I should have thought of that
God?
