Delanys Hogg is one of Americas most famous unpublishable novels. It recounts three days in 1969 in the life of truck driver and rapist-for-hire, Franklin Hargus. Narrated by his young accomplice, Delaneys novel portrays an exploration of erotic depravity, a capacious landscape of sexuality that transgresses social and erotic boundaries.While testing readers tolerance, what transfigures the novel into a work of literature is Delanys refusal, faced with moral anxieties and revulsion, to mutilate or disown his creation. Hoggs characters wear recognizable human faces, possessing intense loyalty, perverse admiration, and a kind of integrity. Hargus fascinates. He is the embodiment of what society can turn people into, the decaying condition of the human soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908838129952,"sku":"NEW1573661198","price":26.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71lD73Bn1_L.jpg?v=1782286961","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/hogg-a-novel-1573661198","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
