Bøger af Stephen Dixon

A lost novel originally written at the end of the 1960's, and too free with its metafictional soul for the publishers of even that era. This is Stephen Dixon enmeshed in domestic concerns as always, but with a young, ferocious energy that will amaze even the readers of his great later work. Stephen Dixon: "SOASAOS: AN is a novel I wrote 40 years ago, tried to get it published for a couple of years, got some unflattering rejections for a change--before they were always gracious and 'not right for us' and 'wouldn't know how to market this' and 'hope you have better luck with it with another publisher...' If accepted, it would have been my first published book..."

"McSweeney's Quarterly returns with our first issue of 2021, a handsome and sturdy hardcover with a beautiful foil-stamped cover by Jon McNaught. McSweeney's 63 features four posthumous, never-before-published short stories by acclaimed author and dear friend Stephen Dixon, with an introduction and retrospective on the late writer's work by author--and onetime Dixon student-- Porochista Khakpour. To boot we've got brand-new fiction from Etgar Keret and Esém Weijun Wang, Illustrated diaries by Abang and full-color comics by Michael Kennedy, letters from Kashana Cauley and Legna Rodírguez Iglesias, an essay on a grief and long-distance biking by Adam Iscoe, and so much more. Start your literary year off right with this sumptuous issue. Ever changing, each issue of the quarterly is completely redesigned (there has been an issue with two spines, an issue with a magnetic binding, an issue that looked like a bundle of junk mail) but always brings you the very best in new literary fiction. Recent McSweeney's stories have won or been shortlisted for the National Magazine Award, the Pushcart Prize, The Caine Prize for African Literature, and been included in various Best American anthologies among other honors."--Provided by publisher.
