The Ingram Interview [Paperback]

K. B. Dixon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 29, 2010

National Indie Excellence Book Award Finalist (Literary Fiction)

The Ingram Interview, K.B. Dixon's unrepentantly quirky new novel, weaves its way interrogatively through the life of Daniel Ingram, a retired, none-too-healthy English professor who has been kicked out of an assisted-care facility because he was depressing other residents. Moving in temporarily with a former student of his-a young art-film maker named Michael Berger-Daniel works fitfully on a ramshackle memoir as he continues to pursue a reconciliation with his absent ex-wife.
