Flannery (2009)
“Her host, Harvey Breit, assistant editor of the New York Times Sunday Book Review, had invited her to be the first guest on Galley Proof, his new half-hour talk show, broadcast at one thirty on Tuesday afternoon, on WRCA-TV. The program combined an interview with a leading author and a short dramatization from a forthcoming book — in O’Connor’s case, a scene from her story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” She had been nervous about the appearance for weeks, feeling dubious about her presenc...e on the small screen, and mistrusting the show’s awkward, midafternoon time slot. As she had written to Robie Macauley two weeks earlier, “I will be real glad when this television thing is over with. I keep having a mental picture of my glacial glare being sent out over the nation onto millions of children who are waiting impatiently for The Batman to come on.”
