So I am eating a blood orange and thinking about the book The Blood Oranges, which seems to be Hawkes's best. He's a writer I like a lot but it takes me forever to slog through one of his books, even the shorter ones (cf. Peter Handke). In The Blood Oranges his theme and technique seemed to coincide in a more accessible way. What say you?

I did like Second Skin and The Lime Twig.

He draws inspiration from nature, like a painter.
