Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man

Siegfried Sassoon

Sinopsis

Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man is a novel by Siegfried Sassoon, first published in 1928. It is the first volume in Sassoon's semi-autobiographical trilogy, followed by "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer" and "Sherston's Progress."

The novel follows the protagonist, George Sherston, as he recounts his experiences growing up in England before and during World War I. The narrative explores his early life in the countryside, his passion for fox hunting, and his eventual enlistment in the army.

While fox hunting serves as a central theme, the novel also delves into broader social and cultural aspects of British society during that era. Sassoon's writing captures the nostalgia and idyllic beauty of the English countryside, while also portraying the harsh realities of war and the loss of innocence experienced by the protagonist and his generation.

Siegfried Loraine Sassoon (8 September 1886 – 1 September 1967) was an English war poet, writer, and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirized the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war with his "Soldier's Declaration" of July 1917, which resulted in his being sent to the Craiglockhart War Hospital.

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.
