Selma Lagerl√∂f'Äôs "Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness" is a profound exploration of human faith and resilience set against the backdrop of the changing socio-cultural landscape of early 20th century Sweden. Combining elements of realism with mysticism, Lagerl√∂f employs a richly lyrical style, interweaving biblical allusions and folkloric themes to delve into the moral and existential dilemmas faced by her characters. The narrative unfolds through compelling vignettes that reveal her characters' innermost struggles, creating a tapestry of interconnected lives bound by their search for meaning amidst suffering. As the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909, Selma Lagerl√∂f transcended her contemporaries by offering a nuanced perspective on spirituality and personal agency. Born in 1858 in a culturally rich region of Sweden, Lagerl√∂f'Äôs background in folklore and her deep-seated interest in social issues are reflected in this work. Her experiences as a teacher and a traveler also introduced her to diverse philosophies, enabling her to portray life's complexities with profound empathy and insight. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking to engage with timeless themes of faith and redemption. Lagerl√∂f's masterful blend of narrative styles invites readers to reflect on their own humanity, making "Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness" a compelling addition to the canon of literary works that examine the soul's journey through trials and tribulations.

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.
