Sinossi

In "The Making of a Bigot," Rose Macaulay explores the intricate psychological and societal mechanisms that shape prejudice and intolerance. Through sharp, incisive prose and a blend of satire and social commentary, Macaulay dissects the various factors that contribute to bigotry, examining the interplay of culture, religion, and personal experiences. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the book serves as both a reflection and a critique of the era's prevailing attitudes, revealing how deeply ingrained biases can manifest in individuals and communities alike. Rose Macaulay, an accomplished author and intellectual of her time, was known for her keen observations on society and her ability to address complex themes with wit and eloquence. Her own background as a member of a progressive family, coupled with her immersion in literary and feminist movements, undoubtedly influenced her pursuit of social justice and understanding. Macaulay's experiences as an outspoken critic of discrimination inform her incisive analysis in this work, making it a poignant critique of human behavior and societal norms. This book is a must-read for those keen on understanding the roots of intolerance and the implications of bigotry in both historical and contemporary contexts. Macaulay's eloquent writing and thought-provoking narratives challenge readers to confront their own beliefs and assumptions, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in social science, literature, or human rights.

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.
