Re: Scene 8: Could it not be that there other widely known Catholic writers who go by the name, O'Connor - Frank and Edwin to name two. Whereas there is only one Flannery.
Regarding scene 2, is it acceptable to suppose that our audience may not be born yet? That our writing has yet to be discovered? Or is that merely an excuse for not writing a truly ageless work?
It was a joy to see you! Being on campus always makes it very tempting to move to VA!
I think of Saint Faustina's diary or other similar works that may wait for an almost forced humility - I think we are to keep at our Lord's assignments and continue to hold them with open hands. I think there may be a few special cases of writing something so beautiful that it might not be finished until it is right for them to be revealed, well after the author's death.
A good film is hard to find, eh?

Your tagline made me laugh. Nice.
Ha ha! Glad you liked it, Maya. A good tagline is hard to find.
Not a bad thought, Herman. But I’m pretty confident do not have Edwin or Frank O’Connor in mind. It’s more like they’re talking to a friend.

Fascinating questions! A work that is truly prophetic and stylistically challenging may have to wait for its audience. What do you think?
It was great seeing you on campus recently, Kate!
