Daring to Be - Inge and Kitty’s Escape from Nazi Germany

Helen John

Sinopse

Here I am human. Here I can dare to be. Goethe's Faust, quoted by Inge to her younger sister Kitty on their arrival in Southampton, August 1939.
Born into privilege as the daughters of internationally acclaimed Berlin ophthalmologist Professor Oscar Fehr, Inge and Kitty's world was shattered by the Nazi regime. Defined as Jews under the Nuremberg Laws, their once-bright futures dissolved into fear and desperation. Fleeing Germany with only their wits and courage, they left behind the only life they had ever known.
Decades later, after Kitty's death at ninety-nine years old, her daughter Helen uncovered four hidden diaries, written in the subsequently forbidden Su?tterlin script. These pages, painstakingly transcribed, revealed a hauntingly intimate portrait of the sisters' harrowing escape and the heartbreak of being viewed as outcasts in the very country that saved them.
Daring to Be weaves Kitty's never-before-seen words and family photographs with Helen's reflections to create a powerful story of survival, resilience and identity. With emotions etched into every page, this is a gripping testament to the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss - and a poignant reminder of the scars of exile.

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.
