He is the author of Rules for a Knight, The Hottest State, Ash Wednesday and A Bright Ray of Darkness. Najčešće sam pogrešio kad sam uzeo da čitam nekakve kvazi- ili prave autobiografije poznatih ljudi koji misle da moraju nešto da kažu o svom životu. A bracing meditation on fame and celebrity, and the redemptive, healing power of art; a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce; a poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood; a novel soaked in rage and sex, longing and despair; and a passionate love letter to the world of theatre, A Bright Ray of Darkness showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before. Con una prosa sincera y valiente, no exenta de humor, Hawke revela al lector los entresijos del mundo de la interpretación, donde los oropeles y las limusinas se dan la mano con la ansiedad y el desgarro más devastadores.

Hawke rodea, desciende y se mete en la piel de sus personajes, adentrándose en las entrañas del teatro, donde un actor en apuros, tal vez reflejando al propio escritor, busca la vid de la redención y se abre camino para convertirse. And I only remember two actors from that movie -- Robin Williams as the teacher standing on the desk and the kid who ultimately offs himself at the end (tall, thin, dark haired, and most certainly not Ethan Hawke). It is detailed in its portrayal of theatre life, with a production of Shakespeare’s Henry Iv plays firming the back ground to the lead characters journey.

Before his marriage publicly exploded, he’d signed on to play Hotspur in a lavish production of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV.From October 2006 through May 2007, he was in The Coast of Utopia by Tom Stoppard at Lincoln Center in New York, playing Mikhail Bakunin. Among the best scenes are Harding's discussions with his young children, adding pathos to the break up of his marriage.
