Parke Godwin (born January 28, 1929) is an American writer. Known for a lyrical yet precise prose style and sardonic humor, Godwin is also known for his novels of legendary figures placed in realistic historical settings.
His retelling of the Arthur legend, Firelord in 1980, Beloved Exile in 1984 and The Last Rainbow in 1985, is set in the 5th century during the collapse of the Roman empire, and his reinterpretation of Robin Hood (Sherwood, 1991, and Robin and the King, 1993) takes place during the Norman conquest and features kings William the Conqueror and William Rufus as major characters. His other well-known works include Waiting For The Galactic Bus (1988) and its sequel The Snake Oil Wars (1989), humorous critiques of American pop culture and religion.
Godwin has also been a radio operator, a research technician, a professional actor, an advertising man, a dishwasher and a maitre d' hotel. His short fiction has appeared in several anthologies. His short story Influencing the Hell out of Time and Teresa Golowitz, was the basis of an episode of the television series The Twilight Zone.
