… beyond eastrod: Another teaching challenge in Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find".
I wouldn't have minded auditing this class. I think the details of the story that are cited are spot on. They made me realize something I don't think I had noticed before, that the Grandmother's reaching out is also a reminder that, as Eliot put it, "any action / Is a step to the block, to the fire …" I also suspect more students got more out of the class than RT suspects, even though they may not have known that at the time.
You're too too kind good sir. Even though you're auditing, you get an A.
ReplyDeleteNow I must read the Eliot.....but which one?
