Heart of Flesh/Heart of Stone: I'm delivering paper on Saturday

[pegkerr]

This coming Saturday, April 19, I will be reading my paper that was presented at the Fantasy Matters conference on the Heart of Flesh/Heart of Stone at the monthly meeting of the Rivendell Group of the Mythopoeic Society, and you are all invited to attend. One of the main books I discuss in the paper, Sunshine by Robin McKinley, is also a topic at this meeting.

Here are two stories on the web which I suggest that people read on the topic "Heart of Flesh, Heart of Stone." The first one I discuss in my paper. Both are quite short:
"The Girl With the Heart of Stone" and mrissa's story "Water, Flesh and Stone." (You might also take a look at the essay I did for snapecast on the topic, concerning Severus Snape, here).

The meeting will be held at 1:30 PM at the Southeast Community Library,
1222 4th St SE in Dinkytown near the Minneapolis U of MN east bank campus.

Here's the bibliography for the paper:

You know Robin McKinley has a blog at http://robinmckinleysblog.com/ and prior to that at LJ under her name? (least I THINK its the same Robin Mckinley.....)

Hey, thanks, I didn't know that. I see someone has already set up a syndicated feed, and I've added it: robinmckinley2.

And yes, it is the same Robin McKinley.

(Maybe I should send her a copy of the paper. Hmm.)

Oooh, nifty! I might have to sign up for that blog syndication.

Btw, not to detract from the point of your post, but I'm giggling over the name "Dinkytown". Which is right up with my local "Hecktown" for amusement factor. :D Good luck with your presentation! (Dammit, when will someone perfect teleportation?)

Well, phooey, we're going to Northfield for a big family thing that afternoon, so I (once again) won't be able to hear you present the paper.
