The CodeX Cantina

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we do the spoiler tag. Original by Gunpowder, Fiction, and Plot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m26sPugQ34 We were talked about and thus tagged ourselves from Brian's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NihdpHGhDFc 1) What do you consider a Spoiler? 2) Does the genre you're reading impact what you consider to be a spoiler? 3) All the best bits are in the trailer, sometimes a synopsis can be too detailed. Do you research books prior to reading them or do you go in blind? 4) Sometimes the introduction or translator's notes can spoil the ending, especially for classics. Has this ever happened to you? 5) Name a time somebody spoiled a novel for you? 6) Have you ever spoiled a novel for somebody else? 7) If spoilers ruin novels, are there some authors or genres you can't reread? 8) When reviewing are you spoiler-free? Does this limit your ability to discuss? 9) Shoutout! Tell us about 5 channels you enjoy and then tag them.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This was an interesting one! "The Mark on the Wall" was published 1921 by Virginia Woolf. We oddly didn't get as big of a war vibe here as feminism. We by no means claim to be experts but we focused on that part for the talk. Let's talk about how this hit us and maybe what some of the interpretations can be for this piece. Have you guys read Woolf before?

The podcast delves into James Joyce's 'The Sisters' with discussions on topics such as the controversy surrounding the publication, the connection between different stories in Dubliners, and the theme of death. They also analyze the use of monosyllabic language, the limitations placed on characters, and the incomplete actions and lack of closure in the story. The hosts explore the unsettling ending, the inappropriate relationship between Mr. Carter and the priest, and the haunting presence of Mr. Carter's deceased friend. Throughout the podcast, they emphasize the theme of paralysis and the open-ended nature of the story.
