Santa Ynez A Novel

Dennis Patrick

Maison d'édition: Doeg Hill Partners, LLC

Synopsis

Cole Clay, raised a cowboy on California’s Central Coast, is on the cusp of a new life. A rich wife and a rewarding new job promise an escape from being “land rich and cash poor.” When the death of a young cowboy implicates his family, Cole is immersed in a hot cauldron of family conflict and forced to make a choice that will alter the course of his life. Santa Ynez is a modern western saga but, at a deeper level, it’s a meditation on what divides us as a people and whether traditional values can survive the onslaught of modernity. 
"Dennis Roy Patrick’s Santa Ynez is a wonderfully told story. Rooted in what the Irish poet W.B.Yeats called “one dear perpetual place,” it finds in the particulars of a contemporary California cattle ranch the universal themes that haunt our age: what progress really means, what’s lost, what’s gained, what endures. Deeply reflective but never ponderous, romantic but never saccharine–the saga of the passionate bond between a land and its people–Santa Ynez presents us with a part of America that we lose at our peril. This is a novel to be read, and savored, and read again. I enjoyed it from first page to last." 
—Peter Quinn, author of The Banished Children of Eve and the Fintan Dunn trilogy; winner of the American Book Award.

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.
