68 Photo: Nicola Dove A Good Hard Look A Novel of Flannery O’Connor Ann Napolitano Forced by illness to leave behind a successful life in New York, Flannery O’Connor has returned to her family farm in the small town of Milledgeville, Georgia. With her time limited, all she wants is to write, but Flannery’s plans are upended by Melvin Whiteson, a banker from Manhattan who married the town belle. Melvin is at loose ends with his new life. Flannery knows exactly what she wants, but is running out of time. Through their unusual friendship, both will come to reflect on the paths they have chosen. Literary history and fiction gracefully intersect in this emotionally charged novel of small-town Southern life, which asks us all to consider how we can live our lives to the fullest. Ann nAPolitAno is the author of the novel Within Arm’s Reach. She lives with her family in New York City. “ An absorbing, old-fashioned tale.” —The Washington Post “ A wholly believable world shaped by duty, small pleasures, and fateful choices.” —O, The Oprah Magazine “Does [Flannery O’Connor] proud. Be prepared to like this book.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Readers Guide available at penguin.com Select Appearances Online Publicity Online Advertising Academic Marketing
“ Filled with a cast of characters rich in Southern charm and tradition . . . leaves you feeling like you learned something about our literary past.” —NPR.org n For fans of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife n Great for reading groups n Visit annnapolitano.com n Also available as an e-book From A Good Hard Look: The peacocks tilted their heads back and bellowed and hollered their desires into the night. They snapped their shimmering tails open and shut like fans. Behind each male’s pointy head, a green-bronze arch unfurled, covered with a halo of gazing suns. The females brayed and shook their lessattractive tails in return. The birds didn’t care that it was the middle of the night, and they didn’t care who they were disturbing. They didn’t care that there was a wedding tomorrow, or that the groom, who had just arrived from New York City, was lying beneath a lace canopy at his in-laws’ house, paralyzed with fear. They didn’t care that his fiancée startled awake in the next room and toppled out of her high bed, and they certainly didn’t care that her face hit a stool on the way down. They didn’t care that the rest of the small Georgia town was also awake, twitching in their beds like beached fish. iSBN 978-0-14-312115-2 $16.00 ($17.00 CAN) Fiction 5 5 /16 x 8 336 pp. Rights: E33 Pub history: The <strong>Penguin</strong> Press hc 978-1-59420-292-6 On sale: 6/26/<strong>2012</strong> SuGGeSTeD ORDeR Unabridged Download • 11 1 /2 hours 978-1-10-149410-3 $39.95 ($46.00 CAN) Snap here to watch an interview with the author ClASSiC PeNGuiN july 69
