Bashan and I

Thomas Mann

Beschreibung

In "Bashan and I," Thomas Mann presents a reflective and richly layered narrative that navigates the themes of identity, loss, and the search for meaning in a post-war society. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of Mann's oeuvre, the novella is infused with autobiographical elements, drawing heavily on the author's own experiences and observations of European culture. The text weaves the personal with the philosophical, as Mann explores the evolution of self against a backdrop of historical upheaval, making it a poignant commentary on the complexities of modern life. Thomas Mann, one of the 20th century's most significant literary figures, grapples with the existential dilemmas of his time through this work. Born into a German bourgeois family and an early observer of the tensions that would culminate in two World Wars, Mann's deep literary and philosophical inclinations manifest vividly in this novella. His mature reflections on life's dislocations and the impact of societal change reveal a profound understanding of human nature, shaped by his own socio-political reflections. "Bashan and I" is a recommended read for those seeking not only a compelling narrative but also a deep philosophical inquiry into the human condition. Mann's masterful prose and intricate character development invite readers to contemplate their own journeys of self-discovery, making this novella an essential addition to the canon of modernist 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.
