In "Horses and Men: Tales, long and short, from our American life," Sherwood Anderson intricately weaves a tapestry of American experiences through brief yet profound narratives. His literary style evokes both realism and impressionism, capturing the subtleties of rural life and the complexities of human emotion.

The collection stands out for its lyrical prose and poignant character studies, reflecting his deep empathy for ordinary individuals navigating the intricacies of existence. Sherwood Anderson, a pivotal figure in American literature, emerged as a chronicler of small-town life after his own journey through personal and professional turmoil. Influenced by the modernist movement and his Midwestern roots, Anderson's writing seeks to reveal the truths hidden within the mundane. His reflections on everyday struggles stem from a desire to connect deeply with others, amplifying the collective human experience through his relatable, sometimes poignant narratives. This book is essential for readers interested in the intricacies of human relationships and the American experience. Anderson's keen observations and evocative storytelling will resonate with anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fabric of American life, making this collection a powerful companion for those who appreciate contemplative literature.

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.
