Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In the enigmatic collection "Tales of the R.I.C," the author, writing anonymously, crafts a series of interconnected narratives that delve into the lives of characters navigating the complex socio-political landscape of a fictional empire. The literary style is rich with vivid imagery and nuanced symbolism, drawing on traditions of oral storytelling while incorporating modernist techniques that challenge conventional narrative structures. This work elicits reflections on themes of power, identity, and resistance, resonating within the broader literary context of post-colonial literature and the exploration of marginalized voices. The author's anonymity adds a layer of intrigue, inviting readers to engage with the text without preconceived notions tied to biography or reputation. This deliberate choice may suggest a profound commitment to the themes of collective experience and the shared suffering of a populace, reminiscent of authors from regions grappling with colonial legacies. By choosing to forgo personal attribution, the writer allows the stories themselves to take center stage, emphasizing the collective over the individual. "Tales of the R.I.C" is an essential read for those who appreciate intricately woven narratives that challenge socio-political paradigms while offering rich psychological insights. This collection is particularly recommended for readers interested in the power of storytelling to evoke empathy and provoke thought in a world rife with inequities.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

The Silence Between Stitches -...

Tessa Marie Vaughn

After the death of her husband, Miriam retreats into the quiet rhythm of quiltmaking and life on the farm. Each stitch is a thread of memory, a safeguard against a world that has taken too much. Her days are measured in silence—safe, predictable, untouched by risk.
 
Then Levi returns.
 
Her late husband’s cousin, long absent from the community, arrives to help with the harvest. He brings quiet strength, gentle hands, and a past that lingers like unfinished seams. Miriam never asked for company, especially not from someone who once cared too much, too silently.
 
Levi has carried his own burden of guilt for years. His feelings for Miriam were always hidden, always wrong. But now, as autumn settles in and hours are shared between fences, fields, and fading light, something stirs again—soft, tentative, undeniable.
 
In a world stitched by grief and custom, can two hearts find the courage to create something new from the silence between stitches?
