Synopsis

In 'Twin Tales: Are All Men Alike, and, The Lost Titian,' Arthur Stringer weaves together a compelling tapestry of narrative, blending intrigue and introspection. Whether through the penetrating social commentary of 'Are All Men Alike' or the richly textured historical pursuit within 'The Lost Titian,' Stringer's prose seamlessly melds the existential with the concrete. His writing style, a product of the transition from naturalism to modernism, probes the psychology of characters while grounding their experiences in vivid, palpable settings. The literary dualism presented in the novella collection is reminiscent of Stringer's acumen for exploring divergent themes under a unified aesthetic lens, thereby capturing the essence of early 20th-century fiction.

Arthur Stringer's career spans a transitionary period in literature, his work often reflecting technological advancements and societal change. Born in 1874, Stringer's oeuvre bears the hallmarks of his Canadian upbringing and his experiences in the burgeoning American literary scene. His proximity to both traditional and innovative narrative forms might explain his dualistic storytelling approach in 'Twin Tales.' The dance between similarity and difference in human nature, as well as the quest for iconic art, echo Stringer's own literary journey from conventional narratives to those that challenge and transcend genre boundaries.

'Twin Tales' is recommended for readers who delight in a sharp narrative dichotomy and value the exploration of human nature through diverse literary landscapes. Stringer's adept storytelling and vibrant characterizations make this collection a must-read for aficionados of classic literature that continues to resonate. With its unique combination of style and substance, 'Twin Tales' adeptly delivers two powerful stories that, while distinct, together reflect the human condition and the enduring search for identity and authenticity in a changing world.

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.
