In "The Tiddly Winks," Laura Rountree Smith crafts a whimsical yet poignant exploration of childhood imagination and the bittersweet passage to adulthood. Set against a backdrop of a small-town America in the early 20th century, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of young protagonists who find magic in everyday moments, from the simplicity of playing with marbles to the complexities of their family dynamics. Smith's lyrical prose, infused with a nostalgic tone, invites readers to reflect on the interplay of innocence and experience, encapsulating the essence of growing up amidst the joys and challenges of life. Laura Rountree Smith, an author with a rich tapestry of experiences, draws on her own childhood in a tight-knit community to breathe life into this story. Her background in art and literature informs her vivid imagery and character development, allowing her to evoke a strong sense of place and time. Smith'Äôs own journey through the complexities of personal relationships and societal expectations enhances the emotional depth of the narrative, making it resonate with readers of all ages. I recommend "The Tiddly Winks" to anyone seeking a poignant yet playful meditation on the fleeting nature of childhood. This book serves not only as a delightful escape into a world of imagination but also as a reflective commentary on the inevitable transitions we face as we grow older. It is a must-read for those who appreciate literary works that celebrate the beauty of life's simplest moments.

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.
