My current project is writing a talk I am to give to the Macon Parish Catholic Women's Council on the dizzying subject—"What Is a Wholesome Novel?" I intend to tell them that the reason they find nothing but obscenity in modern fiction is because that is all they know how to recognize.

I don't know what's more of a trip: the fact that O'Connor liked 'The Catcher in the Rye', or that she knew about 'Epitaph of a Small Winner'/'The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas'. I wonder if she ever figures out that the author of the second one is black.
