Smiley Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on October 24, 2015 (00:30 A.M., October 25th (GMT)), for a discussion of "Every Angel Is Terrifying" by John Kessel. We discussed Kessel's story "Buffalo" two weeks ago, and participants felt that it would be worthwhile to have a look at another of his works. While researching hi stories I stumbled on this one which, in his own words, he describes as a sequel to Mary Flannery O'Conor's "A Good Man Is Hard to Find". We found the O'Connor story well written and worthwhile but an unpleasant read because of its less than happy ending. The "sequel" written some 50 years after the original by an author with a completely different style is much less dark. I think you will enjoy reading it as well as discussing it. Don't miss Kessel's afterword to the story, on the page following the end of the work. The story is available at: http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/9781618249326/9781618249326___6.htm Meeting Place: Webchat: http://www.koach.com...#Readers_Corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner I hope to see you all there, and don't forget...bring a friend.
