2008:04/06 The Feather Pillow by Horacio Quiroga


Recommended Posts

Posted

We had nearly as much to say about the author of 'The Feather Pillow' (Horacio Quiroga) as the story itself in our chat Sunday Night. To say he had a life filled with tragedy around every turn is an understatement. There were some interesting story points we explored (What WERE those hallucinations?!) and curbed the 'Marriage draining the life out of a woman' rather mildly compared to where I thought we could have gone with that lol. There was certainly a lot of pillow plumping goin on !

 

It was wonderful to have Chanel joining us for the first time, and to see Crysta, Ladywolf and B back for the chat. As ever - what would a Sunday be without Star, Stormy, Smiley and Koach. Thanks all !

The log is attached, and you'll have to read it to see why the following was said:

 

Star wishes she had a little man in her pillow

<Koach> lol i guarantee you my cats would have found that bug lol

<Smiley> plump your pillow, and don't be a slug abed, or the feather monster will suck your blood

<chanel> the next story is FOAM PILLOWS....

<Stormy> "Jaws in a water bed"

<Spike> my uncle loved older women

<LadyWolf> wait... not sure it's pretty forgettable... I'll be thinking of it every time I put my head on a pillow now

<Crysta> lol..I'll never sleep face down on any pillow now lol

 

Thanks to all for a great chat !
