Onoto Watanna

Sinopse

In "Me: A Book of Remembrance," Onoto Watanna skillfully navigates the confluence of personal narrative and cultural introspection, offering readers a poignant exploration of identity within the tapestry of early 20th-century America. Employing a lyrical prose style interwoven with rich imagery and emotive language, Watanna delves into the complexities of her Japanese heritage and the immigrant experience. This memoir reflects a unique literary context, bridging Western literary traditions with Eastern philosophies, thereby enriching the discourse on multicultural identity during a time of evolving societal norms. Onoto Watanna, the pen name of Winnifred Eaton, was one of the first Asian American authors to gain recognition in North America. Growing up in a bicultural environment, Watanna's writing was profoundly influenced by her mixed heritage and the challenges of navigating cultural duality. Her experiences as a Japanese woman in a predominantly Western literary landscape inform her narrative, drawing attention to the nuanced layers of perception and belonging that characterize the immigrant experience. This remarkable memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of culture, identity, and personal storytelling. Watanna's exploration of self and society not only captivates the imagination but also evokes essential questions about heritage and acceptance, making it a timeless work that resonates with contemporary audiences.

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.
