The Slaughteryard by Esteban Echeverria - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This week we are looking at "The Slaughteryard" sometimes translated as the Slaughterhouse by Esteban Echeverria. One of Argentina's first work of prose, let's take a look at this piece and maybe talk a bit of the historical context that we can share. I'm sure the Unitarians can sound familiar but it's not the religious meaning. Let's talk about this political party and the Federalists too.

Time and Faulkner || The Sound and the Fury Chapter 2 + 3 by William Faulkner - Summary, Analysis

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's focus on Faulkner’s usage of Time in this novel, The Sound and the Fury. It's an area with a lot of contention for how to interpret it. Maybe adding more fuel to the fire that this book is about subjective truth. Let's look at an interpretation of time and how it interacts with the Compson boys: Benjy, Quentin, and Jason. Krypto has only read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Sound and the Fury so far. We'll soon have another video out on the Old South/New South for our In-Depth series. What do you guys think of the novel so far?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Okay, so Chapter 1 can be a show stopper for many people. I know it was for me on my first read. Let's talk about Benjy Compson and his view of the world. He is a very unique narrator with his Associative Thinking. We bounce between April 7th, 1928 and many other points in the Compson Timeline. Let's walk through some of the major events and how to make sense of some things for this story.
