Synopsis "What Is All This?: Uncollected Stories"

Stephen Dixon's work has earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy Institute of Arts and Letters Prize for Fiction, the O. Henry Award, and the Pushcart Prize. Fantagraphics Books is proud to re-present his 2010 hardcover collection of short stories, What Is All This?, in paperback form.Dixon's finely chiseled sentences cut to the quick of people's lives. None of these stories have been collected in any book before; they have appeared in a wide variety of literary journals over almost 40 years and Dixon has entirely rewritten all of them. Dixon admirers will be cheered to learn that these stories comprise a wholly original work.Centrally concerning himself with the American condition, Dixon explores obsessions of body image, the increasingly polarized political landscape, sex -- in all its incarnations -- and the gloriously pointless minutiae of modern life, from bus rides to tying shoelaces. Using the canvas of his native New York he astutely captures the edgy madness that infects the city through the neuroses of his narrators with a style that owes as much to Neo-Realist cinema as it does to modern literature.The softcover edition of What Is All This? will again be designed by award-winning Art Director Jacob Covey, whose hardcover design was honored as one the industry's 50 best books/covers of the year by AIGA.
