At War with Society; or Tales of the Outcasts

James M'Levy

Beschreibung

In "At War with Society; or, Tales of the Outcasts," James M'Levy crafts a compelling narrative that explores the lives of society's marginalized figures in 19th-century Edinburgh. Through a series of intertwined tales, M'Levy employs a vivid literary style characterized by rich descriptions and a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic struggles faced by the outcasts. The book resonates with the Romantic literary context of its time, emphasizing emotion and individualism, while also delivering a biting critique of societal norms that ostracize those who are deemed different or unworthy. James M'Levy, a Scottish writer and social reformer, drew from his personal experiences and keen observations of urban life in Edinburgh to tell these poignant stories. Having worked as a police officer and later as an inspector, M'Levy had firsthand encounters with the city's most impoverished and disenfranchised citizens. His deep empathy for their plight not only informs his writing but also reflects a broader social consciousness budding in Victorian literature. "At War with Society" is a thought-provoking exploration of human resilience and societal indifference that will resonate with readers interested in social justice and historical narratives. Recommended for those who seek to understand the profound complexities of human existence within the rigid frameworks of society, this work invites readers to reconsider the definitions of worth and belonging.

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.
