The CodeX Cantina

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!  William Faulkner Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HVOURLMW8o&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YAQ2FpKw2J5vqYlH2EFQ0xu Absalom, Absalom!

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."

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.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We return to our favorite short story collection: Dubliners! Let's talk about another of James Joyce's masterpieces which is "A Painful Case." Whether you're reading this in a box or comparing themes of paralysis and loneliness with other stories in this collection, this is a great piece to break down. Mr. Duffy is a great character and maybe even has foils in others characters in this collection.
