His Wife Leaves Him by Stephen Dixon
Stephen Dixon, one of America's great literary treasures, has completed his first novel in five years. His Wife Leaves Him is a long, intimate exploration of the interior life of a husband who has lost his wife. Reminders of their shared past, some painful, some hilarious, others blissful and sensual, appear and reappear in the present. Story by story, he accounts for himself, good and bad, moments of grace, occasions for disappointment, promises and arguments.
Stephen Dixon is the author of 25 books of fiction, including the National Book Award-nominated novels Frog and Interstate. He wrote his first novel while working as a reporter in Washington, DC, but at the age of 26 he abandoned journalism for jobs that enabled him to concentrate on writing fiction--including tending bar and substitute teaching in public schools. Since then, his short fiction has won most of the major literary awards, including an O. Henry Award and a Pushcart Prize, and he is the recipient of honors from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is now on the faculty of Johns Hopkins University.
