The Oxford American’s 32-year archive is a complex tapestry of stories from an equally complex region. Among its threads is this raw footage of Barry Hannah, shared by John Oliver Hodges as a part of our Spring 2011 tribute to Hannah, who had passed away the year prior.
Hannah, ever the iconoclast, appears here unfiltered - much like his prose. While we
don’t endorse his on-camera choices, or admissions of tax evasion, we present this unvarnished glimpse of a literary legend for your consideration.
Viewer discretion advised. But then again, discretion was never really Hannah’s style, anyway.
