The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner

James Hogg

  • Novel
  • Book language: English
  • 191 pages

A Scottish Gothic novel told through an editor's narrative and a fanatic's private memoirs. Raised in strict Calvinist predestination, a young man believes he is among the elect and beyond sin, while a mysterious companion encourages his darker impulses. It is worth listening for its haunting study of fanaticism, guilt and divided identity.
