I don’t know how familiar people are with Humans of New York, but it’s basically a blog from this man who spontaneously conducts interviews with people on the streets of New York. Right now, Stanton (the interviewer) is in Brazil doing the same thing, which is where he conducted this interview. I found this one particularly striking as a real life application of the Lame Shall Enter First, seeing as most people, myself included, found such a story very far from reality. The similarities between this man and O Connor’s fictional story further reflect the notion that literature is important as it can help us deal with realistic issues.
