Beschreibung

In 'Squire Phin,' Holman Day weaves an intricate narrative that combines elements of humor, drama, and local color, set against the backdrop of rural New England. The story centers around the titular character, Squire Phin, a charismatic but flawed figure whose life reflects the complexities of small-town dynamics and personal ambition. Day's masterful prose encapsulates the dialect and nuances of rural life, drawing readers into a rich tapestry of interwoven lives, moral dilemmas, and the inevitable clash between societal expectations and individual desires. The novel, emblematic of the early 20th-century American literature, captures the spirit of its time through its vivid descriptions and relatable characters, all while offering a subtle critique of conventional social mores. Holman Day, an author deeply rooted in the New England landscape, drew upon his own experiences and observations of rural life when crafting 'Squire Phin.' Born in Maine in 1865, Day's literary career flourished amid the burgeoning American literature scene, and his acute awareness of community and identity profoundly influenced his storytelling. His ability to portray the quirks and virtues of small-town life is a testament to his profound insight into human nature and social interaction. 'Squire Phin' is a compelling read for anyone interested in the interplay of character and community. Day's nuanced exploration of personal ambition and moral conflict will resonate with readers seeking both entertainment and reflection. This novel is not just a story; it is an invitation to ponder the complexities of human relationships within the confines of societal norms.

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.
