Sinossi

Marshall Saunders' 'The House of Armour' is an intricate tapestry of early 20th-century life in Nova Scotia, a historical and cultural exploration that masterfully intersects with human drama and societal structures. Saunders' prose conjures an immersive landscape, steeped in the traditions and mores of Canadian society, while narratively unfolding the intimate and collective experiences of the inhabitants of Halifax. The book is steeped in the literary context of its time, employing a descriptive style that captures the zeitgeist of the post-Victorian era, a time of burgeoning social change and reflection in the shadow of the industrial age.

Margaret Marshall Saunders, better known as Marshall Saunders, was not just a novelist but also an impassioned advocate for both social reform and the welfare of animals. Her experiences as a lecturer and member of the Local Council of Women of Halifax undoubtedly infused her narratives with sympathy and a deep understanding of the community dynamics she depicted. Her first-hand knowledge of the social fabric of Nova Scotia lends authenticity to the world she constructs, painting an evocative picture of not just the physical but also the emotional landscape of the region and its people.

'The House of Armour' is recommended for readers who seek to immerse themselves in a vivid depiction of Canadian heritage, those interested in the intersection of history, culture, and literature. Saunders' work will resonate particularly with those drawn to the study of societal evolution through the lens of personal stories, set in a time and place ripe with transformation. Through an engaging narrative and a richly detailed setting, Saunders offers a window into the soul of Halifax, making her book an enlightening addition to the canon of historical Canadian 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.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.
