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.

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.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We look at one of the 20th century's masterpieces, "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. Written from 1948-1952, this piece is an amazing novel. It's fluid, simple: yet complex and challenging at the same time. If you are looking for a great place to start reading classic literature, this might be the best place to start with classics. It tackles a core idea of what makes us good or evil? What is free will and do we recognize it or influence others in our choices?  John Steinbeck Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGkyk_RsUXM&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YCBrvqet3jyObGbI-GGF_HA ✨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! We are celebrating #WomenInTranslationMonth with Clarice Lispector! We continue to explore her Family Ties collection, today let's look at "A Chicken" (Sometimes translated as "The Chicken" or "The Hen") which is frequently recommended to people as one of Clarice's best stories. It has themes of freedom, utility, and perhaps an interpretation of women's role in society. Our copy was translated by Katrina Dodson.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Flannery O'Connor's first novel, "Wise Blood", was a 97-page gut punch.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's look at The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck. A very famous work that deals with genders and their roles in society. The heavy usage of symbols is quite strong in this too.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at "Cat in the Rain" by Ernest Hemingway. One of his most popular short stories from "In Our Time." Perhaps there are symbols of motherhood, maturity, and communication in this piece. Perhaps it's just a cat in the rain and a tired husband? What do you guys think?
