The Unpredictable Stephen Dixon Spins a Winner

The stories in Stephen Dixon's most recent collection drop the reader into the middle of the action with the opening lines. Here is a writer that creates a whole scenario with a few choice exchanges of dialogue or descriptions and involves the reader effectively. The conflicts are realistic, the tension convincing, yet ordinary. The charecters are diverse, although all have a certain humanity, which the author exposes without being perverse.
