Roaring Twenties

The guest you're going to chat and chew with this time around is my second recorded meal from ReaderCon following Alexander Jablokov from two episodes back.

You're about to have lunch with Barbara Krasnov, a Nebula Award-nominated writer whose short fiction has appeared in magazines such as Apex, Amazing Stories, Space and Time, Weird Tales, Electric Velocipede, Doorways, Sybil's Garage, Escape Velocity, Descant, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, and many others, as well as anthologies such as Fat Girl in a Strange Land, Subversion, Science Fiction and Fantasy Tales of Challenging the Norm, Broken Time Blues, Fantastic Tales in the Roaring Twenties, Such a Pretty Face, Tales of Power and Abundance, Memories and Visions, Women's Fantasy and Science Fiction, Clockwork Phoenix 2, and more.

Sabbath Wine, which was published in Clockwork Phoenix 5 in 2016, was a finalist for the Nebula Award in the short story category and later collected in The History of Soul 2065, her 2019 mosaic novel released by Mythic Delirium Books.

She's also the author of a non-fiction book for young adults, Robots Real to Real, that's R-E-E-L to R-E-A-L, and covers tech as reviews editor for The Verge.

I would estimate maybe as much as 90% of people get dressed up on those two garland nights.

Also, those nights will normally be themed, like Roaring Twenties, Black and Red or Masquerade Ball.

and many people will embrace those too.

Picture it, the Roaring Twenties.

It's a great moment of cars and photographs and vacuum cleaners and refrigerators and all the wonders of the electrical age.

And it's all very expensive.

Then Barnaby's sudden death, Mrs. Cronin's seclusion, end of file.

Expense account item five, $24.30, transportation, hotel, and incidentals, and a taxi to the railway station to find the special coach Mrs. Cronin had chartered to haul her guests to the Adirondacks and to her Roaring Twenties weekend party.

I purposely got there early, but one of the guests was even earlier.

Mr. Dollar? Wait.

once Cy came and was by her side.

There was beef from both Jessel and Cy, one for calling Erin out for blabbing their business, but two for, in Jessel's case, that Erin was out doing some real shit talking with the other housewives at the Roaring Twenties party at Bluestone Manor.

And of course, it got back to Jessel.

OK, we're going to break this down.

I hold my hands up.

I don't wanna get beat up, okay? Uh, Sharice Jackson Jordan- Said she wasn't invited to Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, the Roaring '20s, okay? Or as I like to call them, the Ultimate HEIFers.

Um, let me read y'all the article.

"Charrisse Jackson Jordan..." This is from the Reality Rundown, by the way.

Great Depression.

The Roaring '20s, 1920, roaring.

Oh, you said it like 1920-

Yeah

Ooh.

You know? And this was all taking place during the Roaring Twenties, so that ankle was out and everyone was seeing it.

And no one wanted to see a hairy ankle.

Ugh, gross.
