  Scriptorium - John Hawkes
It is an unfortunate irony that the very social and cultural wasteland compelling writers like John Hawkes to write disturbing and difficult novels also robs them of a general audience with the time and patience to read, puzzle, and understand them.
Hawkes died in 1998, the same year as William Gaddis, a contemporary who also wrote complex, labyrinthine novels.
John Hawkes' first novel, The Cannibal, was published in 1949 when he was twenty-three years old.

  Design and Debris: John Hawkes's Travesty, Chaos Theory, and the Swerve
Hawkes is repelled by the suggestion that his narrator merely indulges a morbid fantasy.
Hawkes demonstrates that the postmodern novelist apprehends one of the central tenets of chaos theory not as a figure of speech but as a physical principle.
Hawkes transcends the dualist imposition of order on chaos that is characteristic of a fabricatory modernism, in which the artist must inevitably be frustrated by the impermanence of his creation.

 Literary Encyclopedia: John Hawkes
John Hawkes, author of eighteen novels and novellas, as well as short stories, four plays, and a volume of poetry, was born in Stamford, Connecticut on August 17, 1925.
Hawkes lived in Connecticut until 1935 when his father, seeking adventure and a recuperation of financial losses suffered by the stock market crash of 1929, moved him and his mother, Helen Ziefle Hawkes, to Juneau, Alaska, where they were to live for five years.
Hawkes says that up to this point he had never done well in school; after failing a number of courses, he was dismissed from Harvard at the end of his first semester.

 Amazon.ca: Reviews for Irish Eye: Books: John Hawkes   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hawkes, who once said, "The true enemies of the novel are plot, characters, and setting," has forsaken his prior belief with the publishing of Irish Eye.
Yes, some of Hawkes major themes are present (disorder and obscurity), but the constriction of characters and reactions/truths that arise from this are largely absent.
Overall, a major joy of Hawkes is deciphering that which he writes in order to truly understand the human condition and his fragmented, often disorganized novels challenge readers to not only reread numerous passages but ultimately come to their own conclusion of what the text tells them about life.

 Contemporary Literature (Spring 1991)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hawkes is fond of creating figures of the artist, but these figures never completely fill the role in which they are cast; most often they are people who have the sensibility of the artist but who do not actually create art.
Hawkes was not much of a student when he came to Harvard: the semester before he left for the war, he had flunked out.
It may be too late for authors such as Hawkes to alter their course, but it is by no means too soon for the criticism of post-modern fiction to put aside polemic in favor of analysis and begin resisting the urge to cooperate.

Hawkes then appeared as Mac in “Deep in the Heart (of Texas)” (1998), a comedic drama based on Big State’s play, “In the West” about two married documentary filmmakers from England who try to capture some local Texas flavor while their marriage is on the verge of disaster.
Hawkes’ slow, but steady rise was accelerated with stronger guest roles on “24” (Fox, 2001-) and “The Practice” (ABC, 1996-2004), and a supporting role as a high-strung motel manager in the murder thriller, “Identity” (2003).
In 2004, Hawkes was approached by writer David Milch to costar in his revisionist western, “Deadwood,” about the real-life mining town in South Dakota that attracted miscreants, murderers and opportunists of all stripes thanks to being home to the largest gold strike in North America.
