Time to go

Product Description In Time to Go, the author of the highly acclaimed 14 Stories, Long Made Short, and All Gone has written a dazzling book of eighteen interlocking pieces. Part short story collection, part novel, Time to Go moves from despair to hope, from the passing of things -- time, relationships, businesses, chances -- to the coming of marriage, stability, family, a new life. It is a book that can be in turn frightening and funny, touching and tough -- and one that is, on occasion, all these things at once. Review "Mr. Dixon wields a stubbornly plain-spoken style; he loves all sorts of tricky narrative effects. And he loves even more the tribulations of the fantasizing mind, ticklish in their comedy, alarming in their immediacy." -- New York Times, reviewing a previous edition or volume"[Dixon's] stories, strengthened by their unity, almost have a novel's ability to develop character, to suggest a life outside the confines of the plot." -- Boston Globe, reviewing a previous edition or volume"[Time to Go] emphatically establishes him as one of the short story's most accomplished if quirky practitioners." -- Time, reviewing a previous edition or volume About the Author Stephen Dixon is a two-time National Book Award finalist.
