Synopsis

In 'Jean of the Lazy A', B.M. Bower intricately weaves a refreshing blend of Western adventure with a compelling mystery, set against the transformative backdrop of early Hollywood. The book finely balances the genres, capturing the essence of the Old West with its lyrical prose and authentic depiction of ranch life. As Jean navigates the rugged trails of the West as well as the treacherous waters of Tinseltown, readers are treated to Bower's rich narrative style and profound commentary on the changing American landscape. The book's portrayal of early cinema adds a distinctive touch to the literary context of Western frontier tales, distinguishing it within its genre for its exploration of innocence, perseverance, and the search for truth.

B.M. Bower, born Bertha Muzzy Sinclair, was a pioneer in Western fiction. Her personal experience in the American West provided the fabric for her stories, stitching authenticity into every page. Her insight into the landscapes, culture, and people of the frontier enabled her to craft a narrative that is both credible and engaging. 'Jean of the Lazy A', through its strong female lead and exploration of early filmmaking, encapsulates Bower's progressive attitude and her subtle critique of the evolving American culture – a reflection of an era when the old melded into the new, and women's roles were being redefined.

The book comes highly recommended for those keen on historical Westerns with a robust female protagonist and a twist of Hollywood glamour. Its appeal lies not only in the spirit of the mystery and adventure but also in the way it captures a cross-section of the American experience during a period of significant transformation. Bower's narrative holds a mirror to the societal shifts of the early 20th century, making 'Jean of the Lazy A' a pivotal read for enthusiasts of Western literature and those intrigued by the interplay between traditional values and emerging modernities.

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.
