Praise for Stephen Dixon
“Dixon demands the attention of his readers and assumes their basic intelligence. His stories have been aptly compared to silent films: as in early silent movies, action, gestures, movement, dialogue are—by the author’s highly controlled and rhythmic narrative—temporarily frozen, yet never isolated.” —Publishers Weekly
“A master at portraying the trajectory of a life. . . . He succeeds not only with his sharp ear for dialogue, but in the undermining of genre, often collapsing novel, short story, letter, and play elements into a cohesive whole.” —Rain Taxi
