Laura Blackwell (she/her)<p>Ready to spend an hour spellbound? This Story Hour took us to two different fantasy worlds.

Each evocative story is packed with more characterization and plot than some books. I was particularly impressed with the complex layering and intertwining in the story "Fugue." </p><p>Would definitely recommend.

Guill.Jones, Honorary Canadian<p>Growing Older, A Short Story in X Paragraphs</p><p>Back when we studied poetry in school, I remember reading a poem that had a great impact on me. I now can't remember the author's name, or the poem's title, or any of the lines from the poem. But I do remember that it was about a Shropshire lad.</p><p>(You're such a lovely audience here on the Fediverse. Is there anyone here from Shropshire tonight?)<br> <br>Many years later, I encountered a very amusing cartoon by an artist whose name I can no longer remember. Its caption was, "That OTHER Shropshire lad." I can't remember what happened in the cartoon, but it was not one of those laught-out-loud cartoons. It was one of those sideward wink cartoons that implied, "We're all sophisticates here who appreciate an ironic cartoon, and we're all in on this joke about multiple Shropshire lads -- or at least more than one Shropshire lad."</p><p>Quite a few years later, in one of the last jobs for which I was getting paid, I worked with a very nice co-worker whose family name was actually Shropshire.</p><p>He was an extremely friendly, interesting, talented, and pleasant chap with an offbeat sense of humor.</p><p>(He was the first and last person I'd ever met named Shropshire. Quite literally a Shropshire lad. In fact it suddenly occurs to me -- as I'm telling you this -- that he was ANOTHER other Shropshire lad.)</p><p>He was very tall, as I remember, and could dominate the conversation in any group by dint of his size.</p><p>I guess this just goes to show that life can be very strange. You read a poem about a Shropshire lad, later you see a cartoon about another Shropshire lad, and even later than that you become acquainted with a real-life Shropshire lad. (Even though he wasn't from Shropshire.)</p><p>I suppose that those of you who are from Shropshire won't find this chain of events about lads from Shropshire so strange -- there always being multiple lads who are from there at any given time. Yet here we are now on the Fediverse, and I think it would be cheating to look up the original poem to give you the author's name and cite some lines, and unfair to research the cartoon and attach it here for you.</p><p>It felt truer to me to just to tell you the story as it came to me. And that's what I did.<br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cartoons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cartoons</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Aging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aging</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Shropshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shropshire</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AEHousman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AEHousman</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Literature</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Comedy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Revery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Revery</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StreamOfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StreamOfConsciousness</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MicroFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MicroFiction</span></a></p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I've been dipping into "Lost Souls", a volume of short stories by Hwang Sunwon.</p><p>One that has particularly caught my attention is "Booze", written in 1945. </p><p>Following the August 15th liberation of Korea from Japanese rule, the Nakamura distillery is to be taken over by Koreans. Which Koreans though? As we follow the head clerk Chunho's attempts to manage the takeover, his household, and himself, we see a decent individual struggling with challenges going way beyond a change of name for the distillery.</p><p>"Booze" not only absorbed me in its narrative but also made me think about both decolonization and writing about decolonization.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/HwangSunWon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HwangSunWon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KoreanLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KoreanLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Booze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Booze</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ShortStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShortStories</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TwentiethCenturyLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwentiethCenturyLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Postcolonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Postcolonialism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AsianLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsianLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Korea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Korea</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/lost-souls/9780231149686/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cup.columbia.edu/book/lost-sou</span><span class="invisible">ls/9780231149686/</span></a></p>
