Some great essays on Hawks here. Not a contemporary collection but a much more interesting book of what has been written about Hawks through the ages. I must confess that I've never seen a Hawks film all the way through (apart from Rio Bravo, masterpiece), though I guess his work would appeal to me a lot. Included here is Bazin's famous piece "how could you possibly be a Hitchcocko-Hawksian?"
