Smiley Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on June 27th, 2015 (00:30 A.M., June 28th (GMT)), for a discussion of the story The Glass Bottle Trick by Nalo Hopkinson. The story is contemporary, originally published in Whispers from the Cotton Tree Root, edited by Nalo Hopkinson © 2000 by Nalo Hopkinson. It a fantasy based in the African legacy of the Jamaican people. It deals with the superstitions concerning the spirits of the dead. I think you will find it an interesting story to both read and discuss. Hopkinson is an accomplished author currently teaching writing at the University of California, Riverside. A short biography as well as a link to her web site is included with the text of the story. The story is available on line at: http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/new/new-fiction/the-glass-bottle-trick/ Meeting Place: Webchat: http://koach.com/cha...=readers_corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner Hope you all can make it, and don't forget to bring a friend. In recognition of the Caribbean flavor of the story, I will bring a bottle of my house brand Jamaican rum--you will have to bring your own Coke and ice. Log Attached: readers log 6 27 15.rtf
