In episode five of “How I Library,” host Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with Ethan and Maya Hawke about “Wildcat,” their new film about author Flannery O’Connor.

Directed by Ethan Hawke and starring his daughter, Maya, ”Wildcat” is a snapshot in the life of O’Connor, following the writer in her early twenties when she left New York City and returned home to Milledgeville, Georgia, after being diagnosed with lupus. It was a return that would forever shape her life, her writing, her faith, and more. The film intersperses depictions of O’Connor’s life with dramatizations of her writings, with Maya taking on multiple roles as she plays characters from O’Connor’s work.

Morehart speaks with the Hawkes about bringing O’Connor to the big screen, as well as their thoughts on book bans and censorship, their book recommendations, and, of course, how they library.
