sure, as long as you don't look at him in the light.
lime twig, the cannibal, sweet william, second skin and blood oranges are his top tier stuff. didn't really care for beetle leg but his other stuff is alright.

Any recomendation on where to start with him? Also, why are americans post modernists such good writers? I'm not american myself but lately I've been ready Gass and Gaddis and found them masterful. I'd love to find more like them.

Maybe if you whipped up some dank Hawkes memes the meme troglodytes would start reading him? I just started The Passion Artist after reading The Blood Oranges, Death Sleep and the Traveler, and Travesty.

“Love weaves its own tapestry, spins its own golden thread, with its own sweet breath breathes into being its mysteries-bucolic, lusty, gentle as the eyes of daises or thick with pain. And out of its own music creates the flesh of our lives. If the birds sing, the nudes are not far off. Even the dialogue of the frogs is rapturous.”
