Whoa, whoa, Friedene... please don't instigate our Ol' Pappy. His ire can be devastating. He was correct. The original post of the interview had FO'C given a run for "his" money. It was totally my bad: a mix of not transcribing accurately and not knowing FO'C's gender. Oops. I had edited the text to give the proper gender props. I am a stupid kaka-doodoo head.

Ol' pappy - re-read the interview. Owen answers a question by saying "Flannery O’Connor is perhaps the best short story writer I’m aware of, well, I don’t know, George Saunders might give her a run for the money." The "her" refers to Flannery O'Connor. But I do agree that it was a wonderful interview and Egerton is a fascinating guy.

ol'pappy: thanks for the head's up. Your vigilance and your praise are both very much appreciated. I done took care of that and several other grievous errors...

Could you please tell that guy that Flannery O’Connor was a woman?
