About author(s): Samuel R.
As such, it is a brave book.
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.
The subject matter of Hogg is our culture of sexual violence and degeneration.
Since then it has been one of America\'s most famous \'unpublishable\' novels.
Delany wrote Hogg three decades ago.
