Author Talk: Flannery O’Connor with Fr. Jordan Neeck, O. Praem

The night that we recorded this episode, we were plagued with both internet and microphone troubles. The sound quality on this episode is so disappointing that we seriously considered not even airing this. But, ultimately, we decided to let you be the judge. If you wish to listen, knowing that the sound quality is subpar, we think that you will be rewarded with a life-giving conversation about a brilliant and often misunderstood author.

Book Club: Frankenstein

In today's episode of Plumfield and Person, Diane and Sara talk with Sara's friend, Fr. Jordan Neeck, O. Praem, a priest of St. Norbert Abbey in DePere, Wisconsin about Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein. Sara and Fr. Jordan have read this powerful story several times together. Once as part of a Senior Religion class that Fr. Jordan was teaching, another time with some young adult ladies, and once with their Tuesday Night Classics club that that we have talked about before. In this episode, we talk about how the book was received by each of those audiences, why Diane, Sara, and Fr. Jordan appreciate it, and other books that it pairs well with.
