Hawkes, probably the most talented man in the picture. Try this one if you can find a copy, it'll rock your world.
He never got popular because his books are challenging but short and unassuming, so pomo fans don't get to feel like a big man.

Who's the most underrated novelist of the 20th century? I'm going with this kooky nigga.

Reminder to read John Hawkes, the most consistently underrated and underread of the American postmodernists and a highlight of 20th century US literature at large.

Hardly anyone reads Hawkes, and most who do never get to his secret best work

It's his best but even (exceedingly rare) Hawkes fans don't read it. Sad!

Why does Hawkes get so little attention? He was one of the most talented US postmodernists, on par with a Gass or even a Gaddis, but no one seems to read or talk about him.
Anyway Hawkeschads what's your favorite from him?
