And thanks for pointing out the Frost echo. Stories talking to stories… a story chain. I love it.

By the way, Flannery echoes Frost in “A Good Man”: after the wreck she comments on the bordering woods which are “dark and deep.” I can’t remember if I noticed that when I read it (I think so), but it really jumps out in her reading.

Yes—the writers paying homage, their stories talking to stories. My son keeps telling me of David Foster Wallace’s tribute to Blood Meridian in Infinite Jest, and McCarthy’s riff on Moby-Dick in Blood Meridian.

That reading by Flannery is indeed priceless.
