Dear Abigail

“Stephen Dixon has somehow been overlooked as one of the masters of recording how a person thinks, how days go, what it feels like to be alive inside a brain. . . . He should be remembered as one of postmodern modernism’s greats.” ―Blake Butler in VICE“Dixon is a master of the minor moments, the dreams and the disappointments, that transfigure every one of us.” ― Kirkus starred review for Late Stories“ Late Stories is a fantastic mourning, fantastically written.” ― The Paris ReviewStephen Dixon has long been considered one of America's preeminent literary innovators. Dear Abigail , the companion to Dixon's earlier collection Late Stories , continues the story of Philip Seidel as he recounts every detail of the early days of his marriage—as well as the traces of memories lost to time—rendering another heartbreaking examination of grief. Stephen Dixon is the author of several books, including Frog and Interstate , which were nominated for the National Book Award. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy Institute of Arts and Letters Prize for Fiction, the O. Henry Award, and a Pushcart Prize.
