A Curate in Love

Richard Hughes

Summary

‘A delightful journey through gentler, happier times – Richard Hughes does for the cure of souls what James Herriot once did for the cure of sick animals’ 
Michael Poulton, Tony Award Nominee 
 
Richard’s ordination to the sacred ministry is life changing. Though he is not entirely clear as to what that implies.  
 
Vindicating the Tudor establishment of the Church of England, he serves his curacy at the magnificent Mold Parish Church, commissioned in the 1490s by Lady Margaret Beaufort to celebrate her son Henry’s accession to the English throne.  
 
Richard is intrigued by the much older, less evidently regimented tradition of the Celtic saints whose names are commemorated throughout towns and villages of Wales. Nevertheless, Richard is also a curate in love, incurably, impossibly, passionately in love with the delightful Ann, a dedicated atheist and mathematician who is no less in love with him. 
 
Let battle commence.

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.
