Readers of his previous work will find in \u003ci\u003e14 Stories\u003c\/i\u003e that same wry, inventive, knife-edged humor that has come to characterize his distinctive style. With an adroit use of language and a keen eye for the quirky, offbeat side of human nature, Dixon creates a world as viewed through a fish-eye lens-slightly distorted and off-center, yet recognizable and often familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e14 Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is part comedy, part tragedy, part social comment and part spoof. But most of all it is a highly entertaining series of all-too-plausible vignettes that shows off Stephen Dixon's remarkable talent at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Dixon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801872057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801872051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 5.52w x 0.49d","brand":"Stephen Dixon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926139207935,"sku":"9780801872051","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_364401b0-5603-438c-b751-da0ce0baeb1d.jpg?v=1681081418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/14-stories-stephen-dixon-9780801872051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
