Customer Reviews

Moving and readable.

I enjoyed this book. It focuses on death, old people, and thinking about the past in concrete, direct, and very readable sentences. I liked this book maybe more than any other books by Stephen Dixon, though I have liked every book I've read by him. It was moving and I felt emotional after reading it, and while reading it. Also the least dramatic, unhollywoodish book I have read in a long time.

You should get to know Meyer

If you loved "Phone Rings", Mr Dixon's previous novel, you will not be disappointed by this one. Mr Dixon transforms what may sound like a dull premise (a writer's block) into an exciting novel thanks to great dialogs and lucid thoughts about love, death, the difficulty of aging... It's never boring nor self indulging. Forget Philip Roth, Stephen Dixon is the ONE ! ;-)
