Book Description

This is Stephen Dixon's first written novel and his most seminal work. Readers of Dixon's work will not be disappointed. The character, metaphor and Dixon's honey pot of language are all here, with the story of a man, writhing in his own torment, pulling the reader along as if down a dark, vast, frightening corridor that twists and turns, and leads one always onward.
