| 17:09 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Jack- if toggling you preferences does not work you might need to relog? |
| 17:10 |
Phrynne |
enable voice in your preferences |

Didn't see it was almost the end! |

great story! |
| 17:54 |

Intriguing story.....the cities |
| 17:55 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
I need to get the novel. |
| 17:55 |
Nellie Homewood |
Thank you |
| 17:55 |
KayCooper |
That was a great story |
| 17:55 |
Phrynne |
She has won writing awards -- Hugos -- for novels, and short stories 3 years in a row |
| 17:55 |
KayCooper |
I've read 2 other books by N.K. Jemisin...she's really good |
| 17:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Comments on the story itself, of the writing style? |
| 17:56 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
I love Patience and Fortitude. |

The library lions! NYC |

Justine.Johndory (justinejohndory.amethyst) |
when i first read the story i could hear the voice of the protagonist so very clearly in my head. |
| 17:57 |
Justine.Johndory (justinejohndory.amethyst) |
his rhythm and speech patterns. |
| 17:57 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
I read this story when it was first published on Tor.com and it blew me away. |
| 17:57 |
Justine.Johndory (justinejohndory.amethyst) |
jemisin really conveyed that through the writing |
| 17:57 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
In part because I grew up in a very large city and I love the rhythms of very large cities. |
| 17:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nice to see you here, Magda. :) |
| 17:58 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
And Jemisin's writing made that all organic. |
| 17:58 |
Phrynne |
I was wrong -- she won Best Novel Hugo 3 years in a row. Unprecedented. |
| 17:58 |
Phrynne |
Nobody else has ever done that |

Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
Cities tend to be portrayed as soulless and sterile and this story argues to the teeth for the contrary. |

COUG and ISC |

Justine.Johndory (justinejohndory.amethyst) |
wow. |
| 17:58 |

This is a joint project of CVL and Caledon....a great collaboration!~ |
| 17:58 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
Hello, Word. |
| 17:59 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
The concept of the "avatar" - interesting |
| 17:59 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
within the city |
| 17:59 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
I wonder if the novel addresses what happened to New Orleans. |
| 18:00 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
The venom in her voice is palpable throughout the speech. |
| 18:00 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
yes- the language was fluid |
| 18:01 |
KayCooper |
It flows well and makes it easy to read |
| 18:01 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
/me had trouble with some of the words due to years of being a school librarian!! |
| 18:01 |
KayCooper |
even though there's a lot going on |
| 18:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I totally agree, Kay |
| 18:01 |
jmanque |
The discomfort was noticeable :) |
| 18:02 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
Noooo! |
| 18:02 |
jmanque |
But you pushed through, and I'm glad. |
| 18:02 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
Of course, of course. |
| 18:02 |

Context is everything |
| 18:02 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
true! I oppose censorship for sure |
| 18:03 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
When I was in law school, my con law professor was Catholic and you can see from the glee in his eyes when we got to speech issues that he actually relished being able to say dirty words in class, as part of his job. |
| 18:03 |
jmanque |
Yup, if people don't like books they shouldn't read them. They shouldn't try to prevent others from reading them. |
| 18:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Until we meet again. |
| 18:03 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
exactly jmanque! People should choose for themselves |
| 18:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
tc all Journey well. |
| 18:03 |
Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) |
