Sinossi

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott's 'The Indiscreet Letter' emerges as a captivating exploration of romance, societal conventions, and the enduring charm of epistolary mischief. Authored during the early twentieth century, a period rife with evolving literary norms, the novella exemplifies the era's burgeoning interest in the complexities of personal relationships. Through adept narrative technique and engaging dialogues, Abbott masterfully delineates the consequences of a seemingly harmless letter that ensnares the hearts of three distinct personalities in a delightful tangle. The prose, tinged with the author's signature wit and keen observation, invites readers to reflect on the essence of indiscretion and love's unpredictable nature within the broader literary context of epistolary traditions and romantic fiction.

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, born into the intellectual milieu of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was no stranger to literary prowess. Her father, a notable clergyman and educator, and her upbringing amidst the cultural ferment undoubtedly influenced her writing style. Abbott's own matrimonial journey may have lent inspiration to her exploration of interpersonal dynamics and romantic entanglements, making 'The Indiscreet Letter' a nuanced portrait of early twentieth-century mores and the caprices of the human heart.

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.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.
