Kirkus Reviews called Terence Hawkins' second novel, American Neolithic, "a towering work of speculative fiction" when naming it a Best Book of 2014. Julia Glass said, "You will be amazed at Terence Hawkins’s prodigious imagination, his Bowie-sharp wit, and the skill with which he tells a story."

Hawkins' first novel, The Rage of Achilles, is a prose account of the Iliad in modern and sometimes brutal prose. Based on the bicameral mind theories of Julian Jaynes--also the conceptual basis for HBO's Westworld--it describes not only an historical Trojan War, but a revolution in human consciousness.

His short stories have appeared in such publications as Calliope Crashes, Blue Mountain Review, Keyhole, Eclectica, and Pindeldyboz. His commentary h ...more

REVIEW: THE PALE BLUE EYE by LOUIS BAYARD

I initially wrote the following in 2016, when I’d just finished the novel. Last night I saw the movie. You should too.

My father was convinced I'd make a fine army officer. This even though we'd not only met, but lived in the same house. It was his deepest ambition that I attend West Point. He decided that my reluctance would evaporate on contact with the realities of cadet life. So by the

Quotes by Terence Hawkins (?)

“He stares into the flames that devour his beloved, hoping that they will curl into a spinning fireball from which she will speak. Or even that her voice will whistle from what is left of Patroclus' lips. Nothing. She has never failed him before. Has she turned from him forever for his disobedience and sacrilege? Is he eternally alone? Terror swiftly transmutes into fury, and he rises from his crouch, hands curled, ready to throttle the old man whose son has been the cause of his lover's death and now his mother's abandonment. He takes a step forward. Priam does not move, stooped under his impossible, invisible burden. Achilles does not advance further. His hands slowly relax. Though there are no words in his head, in an inarticulable moment he sees the old man's grief as one with his own.”
― Terence Hawkins, The Rage of Achilles
