Smiley Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on September 23rd, 2017 [00:30 A.M. (GMT), September 24th], for a discussion of Spill by Eric Cipriani. The story is from the Winter 2017 on-line edition of Carve Magazine. According to the author's profile provided by by Carve, "Eric Cipriani’s work has previously appeared or is forthcoming in Barely South Review, Booth, Fiction Southeast, and elsewhere. He holds an MFA from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington and currently lives and works in West Virginia." This story has the feel of reality, and the various news items mentioned in the tale are all current and factual. The ecology of West Virginia is indeed the disaster depicted in the story. The other elements of the story: conspiracy theory, distrust of government, and the problems of dealing with aging parents are all parts of the American psyche. I am not sure that you will enjoy the story, but I do believe you will appreciate it and that it will hold your interest. The story is available on-line at: https://www.carvezine.com/story/2017-winter-cipriani As usual our meeting will be in the #readers_corner chat room: Webchat: http://koach.com/cha...=readers_corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner I hope to see you all for the chat.
