Hawke's Target by Reavis Z Wortham

Hawke's Target by Reavis Z Wortham

The Robber, Robert Walser's last novel, tells the story of a dreamer on a journey of self-discovery. It is a hybrid of love story, tragedy, and farce, with a protagonist who sweet-talks teaspoons, flirts with important politicians, plays maidservant to young boys, and uses a passerby's mouth as an ashtray. Walser's novel spoofs the stiff-upper-lipped European petit bourgeois and its nervous reactions to whatever threatens the stability of its worldview. Robert Walser (1878-1956), the Swiss-German master of high modernist prose, was once so well known that the novelist Robert Musil, reviewing Franz Kafka's first book of stories, described Kafka as a special case of the Walser type. Susan Bernofsky is an assistant professor of German at Bard College and the translator of short prose by Walser, Masquerade and Other Stories, and Gregor von Rezzori's Anecdotage.

The Red River Mysteries, set in rural Northeast Texas in the 1960s, are written by Reavis Z. Wortham, who has received critical praise. He used to hunt and fish in the river bottoms near Chicota, which served as the basis for the imaginary setting. He's also the author of the Texas Ranger Sonny Hawke suspense series. He gives writing workshops at a number of locations, including local libraries and writers' conferences. Since 1988, Wortham has been a newspaper columnist and magazine writer, and for the past twenty-two years, he has served as the Comedy Editor for Texas Fish and Game Magazine.

He lives in Northeast Texas with his wife, Shana. Visit www.reaviszwortham.com to learn more about him.
