Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This week we talk about "The Lifeless Beast" (also called "The Lifeless Animal") by Teffi (Nadezhda Buchinskaya née Lokhvitskaya.). Lots of discussion of a loss of innocence and even magic from a young narrator's point of view.
