The Man Who Forgot

James Hay

Sinopse

In "The Man Who Forgot," James Hay delves into the complexities of memory, identity, and existential pondering through an engaging narrative that blurs the lines between reality and forgetfulness. With a writing style that is both lyrical and contemplative, Hay crafts a rich psychological landscape inhabited by a protagonist who navigates the labyrinth of lost recollections and fragmented self-awareness. The book is set against a backdrop of mid-20th century societal changes, reflecting the broader themes of disconnection and the search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world. James Hay, a prolific figure in early 20th-century literature, draws upon his own experiences as a war corresponded and the aftermath of global conflict to shape the themes of his work. His keen insight into the human condition, shaped by personal loss and the collective trauma of his time, provides a profound depth to the narrative. "The Man Who Forgot" exemplifies Hay's fascination with how memory defines us and the impact of its absence on one's sense of self. A must-read for lovers of literary fiction, this book invites readers to reflect upon their own memories and the intricate ways they form identity. Hay's poignant exploration of what it means to forget serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of human existence, making this work resonate deeply with anyone grappling with questions of self and loss.

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.
