Flannery O'Connor - "The Grotesque in Modern Fiction"
"In the grotesque works we find the writer has made alive some experience which we are not accustomed to observe every day, or which the ordinary man may never experience in his ordinary life." True for me. I read some several times, so unusual to me.
June 20, 1992
Cold - 60. Walked around the block. Dusted upstairs. Mary M called - still pain in ankles. Rose called. All gone to Kennywood. Called Joey to give him my order. Going to work at Club tomorrow. Tom called last night. All is well there. Young Tommy working in construction in his Dad's Erin Construction. Ilsa often at Tom's - babysitting; excited by her internship. Streets deserted today.
"Little by little with patience and endurance we must find the way for ourselves, find out how to live with ourselves and with each other." Zen. I'm still trying at 87.
