There are a number of points of comparison between the lyrics of the song & themes in the story, such as what moral theologians call dejection. But here is an example of O'Connor's sly humor: The grandmother's departed suitor was named E.A. Teagarden. The trombonist on the Bessie Smith recording of the song was Jack Teagarden.
Did you miss the meeting? Or did we fail to discuss all the questions? Perhaps something slipped your mind, or only occurred to you later. If so, here's your chance to continue the conversation. For the time being, this blog is open for comment only to registered members of the book group. Other readers may contact me at hcrane@cambridgema.gov. Please, no flaming or cussing.
