Beschreibung

In 'Painted Windows,' authored by Elia Wilkinson Peattie, readers journey through a vivid tableau of short stories, each piece resplendent with depth and color akin to the stained glass their title implies. Peattie's literary style — marked with eloquence and incisive observation — flexes within the realms of realism and insightful social commentary, reminiscent of, and yet distinguished from, contemporary realists and local colorists of her time. The evocative prose, wedded to the intricate human portraits within each narrative, cements the anthology's place as a noteworthy specimen of early 20th-century American literature, painting the epoch's ethos with remarkable finesse and authenticity.

Elia Wilkinson Peattie, a prolific writer of her era, brought forth 'Painted Windows' from a reservoir of personal experiences and keen insights on the human condition. As a female author navigating the literary landscape during a period when women's voices were burgeoning to be heard, Peattie infused her narratives with a sense of progressiveness and quiet revolution. Her journalistic background provided her the tools to keenly critique and portray the layers of society, from the underprivileged to the affluent, their stories kaleidoscopically intertwined in her collection.

'Painted Windows' is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literary works that both capture and transcend their time. Peattie's anthology resonates with those who seek to understand the social fabric of the early 1900s American life, and it remains an enchanting read for contemporary audiences. As DigiCat Publishing endeavors to preserve and celebrate such classics, this edition allows a new generation of readers the opportunity to savor Peattie's exquisite storytelling, ensuring her place in the literary canon endures.

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.
