The River Prophet

Raymond S. Spears

Sinopse

In 'The River Prophet,' Raymond S. Spears weaves an enriching tale of spirituality and legacy through the life of Elijah Rasba, the solitary figure at the heart of this narrative. Set in the isolated tranquility of Temple Run, Spears crafts a story vibrating with the echoes of familial duty and the whispers of bygone fervor once resonating in a church known as 'The Temple.' The novel's literary style is steeped in the vernacular of its mountain setting, paying homage to the oral storytelling traditions of Appalachia. Spears delves deep into the human relationship with faith and the struggle to reclaim a heritage lost to time and neglect. The interplay of memory and present endeavor colors the pages with a poignant exploration of Elijah's quest for revival of the spiritual beacon his grandfather once ignited.

Raymond S. Spears brings to this work a profound understanding of human resilience and belief. Likely influenced by the observations of rural communities and the resilience of faith in conditions of solace and isolation, Spears captures the enduring nature of spiritual commitment within a rapidly modernizing world. His portrayal of Elijah, shouldered with the task of resurrecting the glory of The Temple, resonates with a soul-deep grappling between preserving the past and navigating the complexities of the present. The author's insight into the fabric of individual determination in the face of communal dissolution suggests a personal connection to the themes of continuity, memory, and legacy.

'The River Prophet' is a must-read for those enchanted by narratives that explore the human spirit's capacity for reverence and renewal. Spears' work will appeal to readers who appreciate the convergence of history and spirituality, and the power of one man's steadfast faith in the midst of abandonment. The novel stands as a testament to the enduring tale of America's own mythical geography, as well as an intimate portrayal of the quest to revitalize what was once sacred. Its profound story invites contemplation on the nature of devotion and the significance of cultural and personal rebirth.

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.
