A Map of the Burned Country - Notes on Memory and Neglect

Howard Kevin

Sinopse

This is a sample description you can adapt. It's designed to hook the reader by introducing the mood and central conflicts of the story.
 
A low hum from a General Electric refrigerator. The geography of a water stain on the ceiling. The taste of cold tea on the back of the tongue. For one man, this is the inventory of a life suspended in time.
 
In a house that groans with the weight of memory, every object tells a story of neglect and quiet desperation: a disconnected rotary phone, a box of curled photographs in a closet, a splinter buried deep under the skin. As the days bleed into one another, marked only by the drip of a leaky faucet or the squeak of a loose floorboard, a silent conversation with the past unfolds.
 
Haunted by the ghost of a brother who escaped and the echoes of parents long gone, the narrator must navigate the landscape of his own inertia. The Geometry of Stains is a profound and moving meditation on memory, the things we choose to fix, and the pieces of ourselves we leave behind in the dust.

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.
