Hawkshaw

Fragmented America
by Ron Goulart
Hawkshaw (Fragmented America) by Ron Goulart
Unrated

Werewolves in Connecticut? A liberal-conservative revolution? An underground "dirty tricks" squad who rob from the poor to give to the rich? Scandal in the highest political circles?

Almost before Reporter Noah Kraft knows what he's after – if he ever really learns – he's captured by the ultra-conservative Robin Hood Foundation, meets its superpatriot leader, George Washington II, has a run-in with the Jersey Mafia (which claims it doesn't exist), and finds out what the mystery is behind the name "Hawkshaw".

It's a wild and wacky satire on today's political climate – to its mind-boggling extreme in a radically different United States... thirty-odd years from now.

Goulart's first professional publication was a 1952 reprint of the sf story Letters to the Editor in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction; this parody of a pulp magazine letters column was originally published in the University of California, Berkeley's Pelican. His early career in advertising and marketing influenced much of his work. In the early 1960s, Goulart wrote the text for Chex Press, a newspaper parody published on Ralston Purina cereal boxes (Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, Corn Chex). He contributed to P.S. and other magazines, along with his book review column for Venture Science Fiction Magazine. Cheap Thrills: An Informal History of the Pulp Magazines (1972) is his best known non-fiction book.
