To all of you who wrote identifying “Today’s Installment” as Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard to Find, my congratulations. (I even lured a couple of fellow bloggers out of the woodwork!) If I do this again, I’ll choose something considerably trickier.
A special prize for sheer unscrupulousness goes to Kevin Joyce, who wrote:
Doesn’t everyone know about Google now? I found the author, and story, in ten seconds by typing “orange sports section” and clicking Search. Not to take anything away from Ms. Carew et al., but next time, please keep us honest and find an unGooglable source.
What a scamp.
By the way, nobody wrote to say that they remembered the one-sentence-at-a-time serialization of Ulysses in The New Yorker. I can’t even begin to tell you how old that makes me feel.
