Flannery O'Connor reads A Good Man is Hard to Find at Notre Dame in 1959, I believe. Good Man is the first Flannery story I read, and it was probably the first story that ever shocked me—my jaw actually dropped. I remained completely startled and unsettled by it in my subsequent readings of it until I heard this recording, when for the first time I could hear how funny it is, too (“his head was as smooth and round as a cabbage…”).
