Hogg: A Novel
by Samuel R. Delany

Acclaimed winner of the William Whitehead Memorial Award for a lifetime’s contribution to gay and lesbian literature, Samuel R. Delany wrote Hogg three decades ago. Since then it has been one of America’s most famous “unpublishable” novels. The subject matter of Hogg is our culture of sexual violence and degeneration. Delany explores his disturbing protagonist Hogg on his own turf—rape, pederasty, sexual excess—exposing an area of violence and sexual abuse from the inside. As such, it is a brave book.
