Musical accompaniment through recording.\n- “I have a suspicion that we are all the novelists of our own lives”\n- The reader of Hawkes’ work is not Robert Kroetsch.\n- Robert Kroetsch discusses John Hawkes. The Lime Twig was set in Britain, Hawkes is rumoured never to have visited. It is a balance between control and loss of control, daydream, reverie, and fantasy. Erotic forces and language of erotics. The landscape and violence that intrudes upon it.\n- [00:08:45] Robert Kroetsch trying to wrestle with Canadian humour and the terrifying, and how those two can exist within each other. Innocence comes through loss. Comedy and terror flow together.\n- [00:16:24] Robert Kroetsch: blood and oranges both speak to fertility rites. Daydreaming of creating new self. In Hawkes the idea of self is replaced by idea of role – “we are each a bundle of contending and related roles”\n- [00:19:51] Robert Kroetsch: writers work to surprise. The translation of pure desire into complexity of love. The question of “who is safe?”\n- [00:21:54] Robert Kroetsch: We are obsessively in our own minds inventing the who/where of our lives. Hawkes as gothic writer: innocence, desire, self-deception, courage. “We make up the stories of our lives and then, in fear and laughter, act them out.”\n- Recording directed to the attention of Geraldine Sherman, State of the Arts."],"contents":["Robert Kroetsch\n[00:00:05]\nIntroduces the novels of John Hawkes, The Lime Twig (1961); The Blood Oranges (1971); Death, Sleep & the Traveler (1974). \nUnknown \n[00:01:57]\nReads from The Lime Twig. \nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:05:34]\nDiscusses The Lime Twig.\nUnknown \n[00:06:40]\nReads from The Lime Twig.\nRobert Kroetsch \n[00:08:45]\nDiscusses The Lime Twig. \nUnknown \n[00:09:26]\nReads from The Lime Twig.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:11:06]\nDiscusses The Lime Twig.\nUnknown \n[00:11:54]\nReads from The Blood Oranges.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:13:58]\nDiscusses The Blood Oranges.\nUnknown\n[00:14:18]\nReads from The Blood Oranges.\nRobert Kroetsch  \n[00:16:24]\nDiscusses The Blood Oranges.\nUnknown\n[00:17:21]\nReads from Death, Sleep and the Traveler.\nRobert Kroetsch \n[00:19:51]\nDiscusses Death, Sleep and the Traveler.\nUnknown\n[00:20:28]\nReads from Death, Sleep and the Traveler.\nRobert Kroetsch\n[00:21:54]\nDiscusses Death, Sleep and the Traveler."],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"\",\"type\":\"\"}]"],"Related_works":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"citation\":\"John Hawkes, The Lime Twig (1961); The Blood Oranges (1971); Death, Sleep & the Traveler (1974)\"}]"],"_version_":1853670558517952514,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T15:00:02.734Z","score":7.0924015}]
