John Hawkes

first published 1974 New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1975 paperback 179 pages

Death, sleep & the traveler is about a middle-aged Dutchman, his dissolving marriage, his involvement with two sexual triangles, his obsession with the murder he is accused of having committed on a pleasure cruise. It is pure, brilliant, profound- a short masterpiece of comedy and myth.
