Russ Hatler's tenth novel, Giants, is set in Puerto Rico in the
aftermath of Hurricane Maria. It tells the story of a brave,
resilient people reeling from the wrath of Mother Nature while
struggling to survive the machinations of political chicanery. It's
also the tale of a young man's treacherous journey from adolescent
angst to responsible adulthood. The novel follows the progress of
Brandon Stevenson, eponymous protagonist of The Hedonist, from
North Carolina to Utuado, a small town in the mountainous interior
of the Enchanted Island. Interwoven with the fictional narrative
are several historical chapters describing the rape of Puerto Rico
by Christopher Columbus and his merry band of Spanish Invaders in
1493 and proceeding all the way up to the rape of Puerto Rico by
Vulture Capitalists in the present day. Philosophy, politics,
recreational pharmaceuticals and ecological mischief also take
their lumps. The humor in the book is dark and merciless.
