Sinopsis

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.

    An audiobook for your cat, recited in its native language. Tens of thousands of repetitions of the word "meow" lifted from the pages of the bestselling Meow: A Novel. An unforgettable 14-hour journey into the heart of the feline experience. 
    Publisher's Description:  
    "Meow meow meow meow meow, meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow? Meow." 
    So begins Sam Austen's searing debut novel: an expansive, stream-of-consciousness fusillade decipherable only by cats, which may very well be a raucous, cogent satire laying waste to the literary establishment and the concept of language itself. 
    Or it may not. 
    Here, the experts weigh in: 
     "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow, meow. Meow meow." 
    - Professor Beans, Unaltered Domestic Shorthair 
     "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow." 
    - Constable Stubbs, Breed Indeterminate 
     "Meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow, meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow." 
    -Cuddle Princess, Devon Rex (very affectionate!) 
     "Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow."
