The CodeX Cantina

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We're going to look at "Good Country People" as our next entry in the "Controversial Authors" series by Flannery O'Connor. We are going to look at Flannery's response to nihilism and how she viewed continual hard work and education as steps towards grace and salvation.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at an excerpt from the novel "Cane" (or short story cycle) called "Becky" which was written by Jean Toomer. An early Harlem Renaissance piece, published in 1923, considered by many to be the first Modernist Novel by a Black Author.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's talk about one of the greatest Russian Short Stories of all time this week! The Overcoat (sometimes called The Greatcloak or The Cloak Шинель) by Nikolai Gogol has captured people's hearts with its unique narration and easy to understand themes of old vs new and care for your fellow man. But is there more there? Let's talk about Bureaucracy, Blizzards and Fate, and the translations of the names that many miss in a translation.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This week we look at "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin. A fantastic piece on utilitarianism and guilt. Let's talk about the structure, can you change it?, and compare it a bit to some other popular pieces on it like The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.
