The Beetle Leg, John Hawkes's second full-length novel, was first published by New Directions in 1951. After years of underground existence, this brilliant novel is emerging as a classic of visionary writing and still remains Hawkes's only work devoted solely to American life. As a 'surrealist Western\" (Newsweek), and a violent and poetic portrayal of \"a landscape of sexual apathy\" (Albert J. Guerard), The Beetle Leg is a rich flight into the special vein of comedy that Hawkes had begun to exploit a decade before the popular acceptance of \"black humor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059526553683,"sku":"NEW0811200620","price":18.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/0011\/2979\/files\/413BXVBGNRL_9e82f793-1327-4500-a3c0-81ceabfe7523.jpg?v=1787931064","url":"https:\/\/shop.prepare-ready.com\/products\/the-beetle-leg-new-directions-paperback","provider":"shop.prepare-ready.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
