Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on September 12, 2015 (00:30 A.M., September 13th (GMT)), for a discussion of The Box by Arthur Bradford.  Bradford is an O. Henry Award–winning writer and an Emmy-nominated filmmaker.  He has set this story is set in contemporary America and it tells the bizarre story of a few slightly eccentric individuals and a somewhat frustrating but nevertheless amusing encounter with U.S. Government idiocy at its finest.  Far be it from me to provide any further information which might spoil the ending for you. 

 

I think that even Nan may (albeit reluctantly) admit to enjoying the story.  It has something for everyone:  attractive women who cultivate marijuana, a slightly disabled protagonist cultivating a relationship with one of them, government buffoons, cats (dead and alive), and mystery.

To the best of my knowledge all of us are back home from our various seasonal travels and there are no national or local holidays to divert us for attendance.  Therefore, I eagerly await our next chat and the opportunity for us all to gather in pleasant intellectual intercourse.  And if possible, please bring along a friend or two.
