Charivari is a 1949 novel by American writer John Hawkes.[1] Hawkes began the novel, his first,[2] in Montana while on a "working vacation".[3] Hawkes, in a 1978 conversation with John Barth, referred to the novel as his first foray into writing fiction, having previously written poetry.[4] In a 1983 interview published in the Review of Contemporary Fiction Hawkes characterized the novel as sharing themes, especially that of innocence, with his later work The Lime Twig.[5]
