Beschreibung

In 'Samantha on the Woman Question,' Marietta Holley offers an incisive and satirical look at the early feminist movement through the eyes of her beloved fictional narrator, Samantha. Holley's narrative, rich in dialect and humor, captures the nuanced conversation on women's rights at the turn of the 20th century. The book skillfully combines domestic comedy with a sharp commentary on gender inequality, reflective of the period's literary style that often cloaked social critique within the folds of entertainment. This special edition by DigiCat Publishing revitalizes Holley's influential work, maintaining its historical context while presenting it to a contemporary audience eager to explore the literary tapestry of past social discourse.

Marietta Holley, an American humorist, and writer, was often compared to Mark Twain for her witty prose and use of vernacular. Her extensive body of work largely revolves around feminist themes, with 'Samantha on the Woman Question' being a key example. Holley's own experiences and observations during a time of significant social reform for women undoubtedly influenced this narrative, making it not just a piece of fiction but also a subtle codex of women's struggle for equality and recognition.

'DigiCat Publishing's rendition of 'Samantha on the Woman Question' is essential for readers interested in the history of women's rights, 19th-century American literature, and the art of satire. Holley's work transcends its period-based literary confines, offering a timeless look at gender roles and societal expectations. This edition ensures that the humor and insights of a pioneering feminist voice remain alive and relevant, providing a compelling reading experience both for scholars of American culture and for those who cherish the intersection of wit and wisdom in literature.

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.
