In Movies, his fourth collection of stories, Stephen Dixon demonstrates more forcefully than ever before the depth and range of his work. Here Dixon draws on a full range of tones, from the farcical to the tragic, and a wide spectrum of themes and styles, each suited to a particular quandary, to fashion a collection in which each story amplifies and reverberates against all of the others.
The motif that connects the stories is 'the movies': not only the movies that people see and respond to in movie houses, but those they dream or imagine they are in.
Rhythm is the main quality of his work, the fundamental fact behind his story worlds. This rhythm is reminiscent of early silent films in that everything, all the objects, are recognizable; but the pace and stylization of delivery makes the reality unique. Walter Cummins, The Literary Review
The writing can be slapstick or mocking but it is always professional...Dixon is always good fun. Minneapolis Tribune
