Beginning with the title - "Conversations with Likka Sto' Rufus". Rufus is a complex African-American character. It would not be accurate to call him "Liquor Store Rufus", because the cultural nuances would be muted. "Likka Sto' Rufus", at seventy something, is beautifully mellow and snarky, combined with all of the rip-roaring spices that go to make a fully developed life.

Autorenporträt
Odie Hawkins is one of the original members of the Watts Writer's Workshop (founded by Budd Schulberg) that was established in the wake of the Watts Rebellion 1965. His mentors were John W. Bloch, Louise Meriwether, A. L. Jenner, Robert Lewin and Harlan Ellison. He started his writing career with the invaluable assistance of Dr. Margaret Burroughs, the founder of the Du Sable Museum of African American History, in Chicago, Illinois. The man is having a phenomenally prolific writing life. He has written screenplays, radio scripts, television (here and in Ghana, West Africa), stage plays, newspaper columns, short story collections and thirty-three published novels. He may not be "famous", but he has received critical acceptance on several fronts. He was one of the panelists (Wanda Coleman, Emory Holmes, Dr. Roland Jefferson, and Professor Justin Gifford) at the Modern Language Association Conference at the Hilton, LA Live. His books have been used in writing classes in colleges, universities, and prisons. He was a participant in a California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) event, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the "Watts Rebellion" that is usually labeled "a riot". Mr. Hawkins has agreed to let this university archive his works. Hawkins takes credit for being the originator of the Pan-African Occult genre, as exemplified by his books: "Shackles Across Time", "The Snake, 20/20" and "Snake Doctor". His works continue the business of taking readers into the "unusual" to tell us who he is.
