The Sun Also Rises
Chloe kicks off her series on The Last Lost Generation over on her blog, Light From A Pixel. Please hop over and check it out. It’s a beautiful piece. This is a year-long series she’s created, so be sure to connect with her on Facebook so you never miss a post. Here is an excerpt from her post.
There is something of a cosmic connection between my life as a Gen Xer and Hemingway, because my great grandmother (who was one of my main connections from the last Lost Generation) and Hemingway were born only a couple of hours and months apart. What is fascinating to me as a generational writer is that as a child, I was held in the embrace of both maternal and paternal great-grandparents – people born in the 1890s or very soon after, and when I hold my daughter who was born after the millennium, I sometimes pause and feel amazed at the fact that my skin has felt the embrace of people who came from three separate centuries
Thank you for sharing this, Jen. I’m hoping to write a piece about Langston Hughes in February. More good stuff on the way….
Thank you, Dear One! I love your writing.
