\u2014Feast of St. Leonard of Noblac<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been having a rollicking good time reading Flannery O\u2019Conner\u2019s\u00a0Wise Blood.<\/i> I\u2019ve finished the first seven chapters and the cast of characters is setting us up for the the main event.<\/p>\n

Did you know director John Huston, the voice of Gandalf the Grey in the animated The Hobbit<\/i>, adapted this novel to film?<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n

So far we\u2019ve met our \u201chero\u201d Hazel, of Eastrod Tennessee (for sound effects, read this as Tannersee<\/i>), and everyone he meets pegs him for a preacher. He hates that, by the way, and has a brilliant idea to be a preacher (after all) for \u201cThe Church Without Christ. As Hazel grapples with this idea though, his thoughts can\u2019t seem to escape the impossibility of such a thing.<\/p>\n

But look, I\u2019ve been real busy lately and although I am enjoying this book (my first taste of Flannery), I haven\u2019t been able to think much on it and write about it.<\/p>\n

But I found that Roy Peachey<\/a>, of The Catholic English Teacher<\/i> blog has posted a link to a couple of podcasts he found given by Amy Hungerford of Yale University. So head on over to Roy\u2019s blog and check out Ms. Hungerford\u2019s lectures in the interim.<\/p>\n

And while you\u2019re at Roy\u2019s place, see what else he has to offer. You\u2019ll be glad you did. But absolutely do not<\/i> watch the John Huston film until you\u2019ve finished reading the book. I\u2019ll know if you did.<\/p>\n

After the dust settles around my area, I\u2019ll punch out my impressions of Wise Blood shortly. I can\u2019t wait to see what Hazel, Enoch Emery & company have in store for us.<\/p>\n
