Pynchonesque Play

[Elainemmbell at aol.com]

A delayed reaction to the John Hawkes comment earlier--I studied with John 
Hawkes at Brown several years ago and found him to be the most incompetent 
species of human imaginable...he tortured his students (had several suicides 
to his credit), condescended to anyone who had a real readership (larger than 
the 2500 people who read Him), and vilified anyone who presumed to be in 
touch with "the language of plumbers" (his way of referring to anything 
actually happening in the Real World).  Whatever his gifts may be as a writer 
he is a truly execrable man. I have ritually burnt his books.
