Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EST) on January 14th, 2017 (01:30 A.M., January 15th (GMT)), for a discussion of The Great Zero by Jonathan Walter.  The story is from the 2011 "Fiction" issue of The New Yorker magazine.  

 

This week's selection deals with the socio-political impact of the great depression and concurrent "dust bowl" drought of the early 1930's.  It is not a pretty story, but I found it interesting.  The story has the same feel to it as do Steinbeck's depression era novels, and I hope you will agree with me that this story is well worth reading.  It should provide ample grist for our chat mill.
