The Naughty Yard — Michael Hemmingson

The Obelisk Library is pleased to offer this new edition of Michael Hemmingson's first published novel that came out in 1994 from the now long lost iconoclastic publisher, Permeable Press. The Naughty Yard served as an announcement to the literary world that a powerful new voice in American fiction was on the scene, and that Michael Hemmingson was ready to piss with the big boys of American Literature. He has not disappointed since. The Naughty Yard is a dark confession of Eros, of one man's journey into forbidden taboo and sudden violence…or is it all fantasy in the narrator's mind? This short novel shocks and delights with impact; weaved with beautiful sentences, composed with genuine passion for language, lust, and memory.
