Stephen Dixon has long been considered one of America's preeminent literary innovators. Dear Abigail, the companion to Dixon's earlier collection Late Stories, continues the story of Philip Seidel as he recounts every detail of the early days of his marriage—as well as the traces of memories lost to time—rendering another heartbreaking examination of grief.
Stephen Dixon is the author of several books, including Frog and Interstate, which were nominated for the National Book Award. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy Institute of Arts and Letters Prize for Fiction, the O. Henry Award, and a Pushcart Prize.
