John Hawkes, born John Clendennin Talbot Burne Hawkes, Jr. (August 17, 1925 – May 15, 1998), was a postmodern American novelist, known for the intensity of his work, which suspended some traditional constraints of narrative fiction.
Born 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. 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 taught English at Harvard from 1955 to 1958 and at Brown University from 1958 until his retirement in 1988. Among his students at Brown were Rick Moody and Jeffrey Eugenides.
Hawkes died in Providence, Rhode Island.
