Delicious Hunger

Hai Fan

Summary

Deep in the Malaysian rainforest, two comrades pine for each other but don't know how to declare their love; a fastidious man with perfect hearing keeps his comrades safe time after time, a woman viewed as a burden nonetheless manages to delight her comrades the day she finds a mythical mouse deer. In the forest, you forage and kill but also love, desire, and grieve.

Thread together, Delicious Hunger is a collection of moments; the time in and between warfare, when the act of hunger is something to taste and the rainforest becomes an extension of the body. Deftly translated by Jeremy Tiang, Hai Fan's stories are about the people who chose to fight for a particular world and in the process, built their own.

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.
