BiographyBorn in Stamford, Connecticut, and educated at Harvard University. Although he published his first novel, The Cannibal, in 1949, it was The Lime Twig (1961) that first won him acclaim. Thomas Pynchon is said to have admired the novel.[1] His second novel, The Beetle Leg (1951), an intensely surrealistic Western set in a Montana landscape, came to be viewed by many critics as one of the landmark novels of 20th-century American literature. Hawkes took inspiration from Vladimir Nabokov and considered himself a follower of the Russian-American translingual author. Nabokov's story "Signs and Symbols" was on the reading list for Hawkes' writing students at Brown University. "A writer who truly and greatly sustains us is Vladimir Nabokov," Hawkes stated in a 1964 interview.[2] Hawkes taught English at Harvard from 1955 to 1958 and English and creative writing at Brown University from 1958 until his retirement in 1988.[3] Among his students at Harvard and Brown were Rick Moody, Jeffrey Eugenides, Jade D Benson/Denice Joan Deitch, Alex Londres, William Melvin Kelley,[4] Marilynne Robinson,[5] and Maxim D. Shrayer.[6] Hawkes died in Providence, Rhode Island. Quotations
