Hawke unshaken by literary critics

Actor-turned-author Ethan Hawke refuses to let the critics' unkind words about his first two novels dampen his spirits as he works on his third literary offering.

The Training Day star, who split from wife Uma Thurman in 2003, has already released tomes The Hottest State and Ash Wednesday to a cynical reception - but he is convinced his future works will rival those of his literary idols.
