A good man is hard to find

It’s a deeply creative investigation into the Southern Catholic novelist and short story writer behind “A Good Man is Hard to Find” that dips in and out of both her imagination and her real life.

His opening forays, for example, were Southern gothic tales so dark that they make Flannery O'Connor's murderous "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" seem practically cheery by comparison.

A good man is hard to find, but Adriana says she likes to assume the best of people.

In recent months it’s been a lot of short stories: “Home,” by George Saunders, “A Good Marriage,” by Stephen King, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor, and “Harrison Bergeron,” by Kurt Vonnegut, and the short novel “Dreaming of Babylon,” by Richard Brautigan.
