Release Date: May 22, 2012
eBook Price: $7.99
DESCRIPTION
14 Stories has an inventive, knife-edged humor that has come to characterize Dixon's distinctive style. With a skillful use of language and a keen eye for the quirky, offbeat side of human nature, Dixon creates a world as viewed through a slightly distorted and off-center lens—yet somehow recognizable and often familiar.
PRAISE
"Dixon's stories, strengthened by their unity, almost have a novel's ability to develop character, to suggest a life outside the confines of the plot." —Boston Globe
"Mr. Dixon wields a stubbornly plain-spoken style; he loves all sorts of tricky narrative effects. And he loves even more the tribulations of the fantasizing mind, ticklish in their comedy, alarming in their immediacy." —New York Times
"These stories make a highly satisfying collection, not only for their evident craftsmanship but also because of the discriminating intelligence which underpins them." —Times Literary Supplement

DESCRIPTION
The author of the highly acclaimed 14 Stories, Long Made Short, and All Gone has written a dazzling book of 18 interlocking pieces.

PRAISE
"…stories that display Dixon's gift for exploring the ramifications of a catastrophe. And the title story, which has the narrator's dead father dogging him as he prepares for his wedding delivers a shining drop of emotion at the finish that's …moving." —Kirkus Reviews
"[Dixon's] stories, strengthened by their unity, almost have a novel's ability to develop character, to suggest a life outside the confines of the plot." —Boston Globe
"[Time to Go] emphatically establishes him as one of the short story's most accomplished if quirky practitioners." —Time
