The CodeX Cantina

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's return to one of Una's favorite authors, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.! He wrote a little story called "The Drone King" in the 1950s but it was never published. Thanks to the Atlantic, we now have access to it. Let's talk about what could be a look at Men's Rights in a return-from-war situation.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Our first Roberto Bolano talk! Let's talk about "Clara" a short story published in the August 4, 2008 issue of The New Yorker! A wonderful piece that we have an interesting take on! We don't expect you have to view this story this way but have an interesting look at how he may be using the Male Gaze to talk about women. We chose this as a part of an effort to read more broadly for #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

. What did you guys think of this story? Our copy was translated by Chris Andrews.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's talk about "Sanctuary" by William Faulkner today. With themes about justice, good, evil, free will, and choice: there is a lot to dig into here. While Faulkner claimed this is just a potboiler, is there more here to digest? A Southern Gothic novel set in the deep south, make sure you check trigger warnings as this is not for the faint of heart!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We are working through the Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories and have arrived on "Flames" by Yuko Tsushima. We didn't realize this was a chapter in the collected novel  "Territory of Light." What do you guys think of this story? Can it stand on its own? Did you see themes of loss and return to innocence?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We continue our celebration of Women in Translation this month by heading to Brazil. Clarice Lispector writes the final novel of her life with "The Hour of the Star." Some argue it's the peak of her career. It's hard to deny the power this story can deliver. With a heavy theme rooted in class and poverty, there are many other elements such as knowledge and connections with others that leave readers speechless in a profundity that is rarely reached in books. Our copy was translated by Ben Moser.
