May 21st, 2015: "The Giant" by Joe Schlichta

[Smiley]

Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on May 21, 2016 (23:30 P.M. (GMT), May 21st), for a discussion of The Giant by Joe Schlichta.

 

We have Stormy to thank for this story, he stumbled on it when reading last week's offering and suggested that we read and discuss it in #Readers_Corner.  It's an interesting story which defies categorization.  If it has a theme it might be:  "You can't go home again, until you do."  I feel certain that most of our members will enjoy it.  Fair warning:  the story is one that calls for -- almost demands -- a second reading.

 

Schlichta is an Artist (painter) as well as a writer.  You may look at some of his paintings on his website:  http://joeshlichta.com .   You might also enjoy his interview for Cheftown (the food blog of TheStranger.com, an online magazine about what's happening in Seattle, Washington.):  http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/scotch-hold-the-grapefruit-juice/Content?oid=17446443 .  He also has a number of published written works to his credit.

I am sure you will enjoy the story, and that it will give us ample points to discuss during our chat.  Oh, i have imposed upon Koach to bring a virtual case of Fresca to the chat, and I'll provide a few bottles of a dry white wine so we can enjoy some grapefruit Weinschorle, a suitable warm weather refreshment for our discussion.  I hope to see you all here.
