The CodeX Cantina

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's talk about one of the greatest short stories to come out of Brazil! "Midnight Mass" by Machado de Assis is absolutely amazing. Ambiguity in perspectives, coming of age, and more. It's a psychological exploration that rewards people diving further into it.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! What exactly happened? It's not a novel. But it's wonderful. It's Brazilian. It's Clarice. She paints with words here and escapes definition. Let's talk about the enigmatic Agua Viva today by Clarice Lispector!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We all want to know what's the best book to start with for William Faulkner? I remember asking Google what's the best William Faulkner book. But I saw a ton of answers and maybe there is no singular answer for everyone. Sometimes you want that personal touch such as if I knew you were super into crime noir, then perhaps "Sanctuary" is the best starting point. If Comedies are your favorite genre then I'd recommend "The Reivers." However, as a blanket statement, and for someone who wants to know what's the best books to get the taste of what Faulkner can do, then I'd recommend starting with this list here today. For reference, I've worked through most of Faulkner's books but not all: The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Absalom, Absalom!, The Snopes Trilogy (The Town, The Hamlet, the Mansion), Light in August, Sanctuary, Go Down Moses, The Reivers, The Collected Short Stories, and the Uncollected Short Stories. They all have something to offer and all can be starting points for various people. Today we just want to look at a generic best starting point for getting that initial flavor of what is William Faulkner all about? 📖 The Before You Read and In-Depth analysis series to read along with: The Sound and the Fury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpYIfRGqKw&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YB_hFcmdu5ScFW00pMo3rfO Absalom, Absalom! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXLg76-aoLY&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YC8HFWR26SOHxWfYkDGqZTD Go Down, Moses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV7ido0Y7d4&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YDz9pXdxe4_XdNcZB0-VQmm Complete William Faulkner Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpYIfRGqKw&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YAQ2FpKw2J5vqYlH2EFQ0xu A Rose for Emily Discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSNg6QJtxqg ✨Do you have a Short Story or Novel you'd think we'd like or would want to see us cover?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! One of Japan's most respected authors, Yasunari Kawabata, up for discussion today. Let's look at The Izu Dancer (sometimes called the Dancing Girl of Izu) and talk about some themes of maturity and innocence, cleansing, and a bit about class divide which was easy for us to miss. Our copy came from The Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories and was translated by Edward Seidensticker.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Our minds are blown this week by Jorge Luis Borges's "The Library of Babel." This is a thought experiment that Borges pays homage to and it's executed wonderfully! With themes on the infinite, knowledge, we didn't even really go into the religious side but there is so much here we by no means expect what we cover to be a complete look at this work! We chose this work as an effort to read more broadly for #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth. We'll provide a link below for our buddy Noah's talk on this story as well in the links. Our copy was translated by Andrew Hurley.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's talk about "I Stand Here Ironing" by Tillie Olsen today. We had very different takes on how to interpret the mother. Did you see elements of feminism and symbolism in the meaning of the iron?

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.  Kurt Vonnegut Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy32w2mIbqQ&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YA72jakRzZR6Rn4xhOPWGyV ✨Do you have a Short Story or Novel you'd think we'd like or would want to see us cover?
