Smiley Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on June 4, 2016 (23:30 P.M. (GMT), June 4th, for a discussion of Kneel to the Rising Sun by Erskine Caldwell. Caldwell was a prolific writer during the mid and late 20th century, both of factual books and fiction. He is probably best known for his novels Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. This short story is the title tale of an anthology of his stories published in 1935. It is study of the economic situation as well as the racial prejudices rampant in the rural South during the great depression. I think the story will prove ample grist for our literary discussion mill. At the end of our last chat, I was mistaken when I indicated I would not be available on the 4th of June, I looked quickly at my pending commitments and confused a Sunday for Saturday. I will be there to participate on the 4th. The story is available on line at: http://fullreads.com/literature/kneel-to-the-rising-sun/ Meeting Place: Webchat: http://koach.com/cha...=readers_corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner I hope to see you all here.

Smiley Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 We had insufficient chatters for a quorum at our June 4th scheduled chat, so we will discuss Erskine Caldwell's "Kneel to the Rising Sun" at our next meeting, June 11th. The few regulars who were at the chat agreed that the story is too good to pass up and warrants a reschedule. Reminder: the story is available at: http://fullreads.com/literature/kneel-to-the-rising-sun/ Please bring a friend with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
