  • The Dogs of Doggerel
    K. B. Dixon
    'Crumbs are all that are left of last night’s revelations-a sprinkle of words tossed over an idea that is on its way to somewhere....'With The Dogs of Doggerel, K. B. Dixon offers an eccentric collection of irregular poems-of 'liminals,' literary jackalopes both dark and light, both long and short-poems that range from the meaning of 'meaning' on Mars to the trial of an art for...

  • Artifacts
    K. B. Dixon
    'Alan is nothing to them-just so much slop; just meat and molecules, currents and chemical soup. As he zigs and zags, biosensored through a maze, his unique ballet of beef and intention is carefully charted by Dr. Poindexter and his posse of would-be PhDs-the wizards in white coats working off their student loans and their feelings of sexual inadequacy.'With Artifacts, K. B. Di...

  • Andrew (A to Z)
    K. B. Dixon
    'How was my day? I'm trying not to remember.' A wry, unconventional character study, Andrew (A to Z) is a sort of mosaic that the reader assembles subconsciously. Focusing on the narrator's family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors, it is the story of a quasi-neurotic malcontent on the edge of the edge of middle middle-age. An amateur photographer, the office satirist,...

  • The Photo Album
    K. B. Dixon
    'The clichés of beauty are irresistible. It is usually (although I have to concede not always) some sort of affectation to pretend otherwise.' A quirky catalogue of imaginary photographs K. B. Dixon's new novel, The Photo Album, is an idiosyncratic mix of character study and meditation-a glimpse into the life of a peculiar photo-enthusiast named Michael Quick and a question...

  • A Painter's Life
    K. B. Dixon
    K. B. Dixon's work has been described as original, clever, pithy, lyrical, insightful, gonzo, and laugh-out-loud funny. His new novel, A Painter's Life, is a characteristically mischievous oddity. A mix of biographical scraps, journal entries, review excerpts, and interviews, it is an intimate and introspective tour of the art world-a portrait of the sometimes portraiti...

  • Novel Ideas
    K. B. Dixon
    'Maybe I should take a little time off-not just from my formal fiddling with the epistemological puzzles of narration, but from fiction in general-time off from imaginary people and imaginary experiences. Maybe I should try something 'conventional,' reportorial, nonfictional-get in touch, even if just obliquely, with the real world again.' Purportedly culled from a cach...

  • Notes
    K. B. Dixon
    'Haircut today. Another half-hour with Beth, the stylist, telling me tales of her sullen daughter, Phoebe, and her incontinent Chihuahua, Norman (a depressed and depressing little rescue dog who sleeps curled up in a mouse-colored bed near the shampoo station). Another half-hour of struggling to make small talk-something I do not do very well at all.' A daily diary started by t...
