Download or read book Black Freckles written by Larry Levis and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication in 1971 of his first book of poems, Wrecking Crew, Larry Levis at age twenty-five immediately established himself as a literary talent to watch. Since then, four more books and a host of prestigious awards--including the Lamont prize in 1976 for The Afterlife and a National Poetry Series selection in 1981 for The Dollmaker's Ghost--have solidified his reputation as one of our finest contemporary poets. In Black Freckles, his first collection of fiction, Levis switches genres with his dazzling stylistic powers intact. In these eight vivid and unforgettable stories, Levis explores the nature of beauty and loss, and how sometimes they are inextricably connected. Combining a dreamlike sense of time with images startling for their visceral immediacy, Levis's prose astonishes with its imaginative force and linguistic brilliance. In the title story, set in Belgrade, a young man's disturbing ruminations on the world around him depict the injuries a politically repressive society can inflict on the processes of love and memory. "A Divinity in its Fraying Fact" examines the events surrounding the drowning of a young priest, recalled by the boy whose mother discovered the corpse in the family's swimming pool. In "An Illustration of the Castle" Levis reaches across history to present a timeless monologue from a deposed emperor whose conquests ultimately leave him with a sense of loss and futility. Black Freckles pushes the accepted boundaries of the possible in narrative fiction. Each of these stories possesses the same nostalgia-tinged intelligence and lyric energy that has made Larry Levis one of the most widely read and respected poets of our time.

Book excerpt: Freckles, a nameless Irish waif when the story opens, moved by the power of a mighty love, takes hold of his life, performs deeds of heroism in his guardianship of the Limberlost timber leases, and at length, through the help of the woman he loves, comes into possession of his name and patrimony. Other characters, only a little less interesting, are McLean, a member of the Grand Rapids Lumber Co., Freckles' friend and boss; Lord O'More, who seeks a lost relative and finds him in the hero, and Black Jack, a handsome villian, whose thought of repentance comes too late.

Book excerpt: "Freckles" is an adult orphan, just under twenty years of age, with bright red hair and a freckled complexion. His right hand is missing at the wrist, and has been since before he can remember. Raised since infancy in a Chicago orphanage, he speaks with a slight Irish accent. Exhausted after days of walking and looking like a hobo, he applies for a job with the Grand Rapids lumber company, guarding timber in the Limberlost Swamp. McLean, part owner of the large company, enthralled with the Limberlost, hires him to be on the watch for those who aim to steal the expensive timber. McLean's chief worry is Black Jack Carter, who has sworn to smuggle several priceless trees out of the swamp. Initially terrified of the wilderness after a lifetime in an urban environment, Freckles first conquers his fears, aided by exploration of the Limberlost, and falls in love with the swamp. When a recently fired lumberman named Wessner tries to bribe Freckles so the Black Jack's gang of thieves steal a prime tree next to the trail, Freckles gets into a fist fight with Wessner and, although severely pummeled, chases him off. The next afternoon, while Freckles is recovering from beating, a lovely girl about sixteen years of age appears looking for him. Freckles falls in love with her while she helps him recover, and she becomes his guardian angel as the Black Jack's gang seeks revenge.
