Stephen Dixon's stories and novels have an original, immediately
recognizable sound and feel --a weird blend of Franz Kafka and Frank
Capra. Readers of his previous work will find in 14 Stories 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.14 Stories 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.
