Yet another Stephen Dixon post; also, new literary anthology due this year

Yes, yes, another Stephen Dixon post. But this one's not by me. Andrew Palmer, Founding Co-editor of Avery (a brand new "anthology of new fiction"), mentions (over at the Avery blog) the recent publication of End of I., and then goes on to discuss Frog, Stephen Dixon's 1991 National Book Award Finalist novel. Worth reading for Andrew's well-formed opinion of Dixon's work. (Link via Metaxu Cafe.)

What's also fascinating here is that Andrew tells us that the debut issue of Avery will feature an excerpt from Stephen Dixon's next novel, Meyer. The issue will also feature work by Ander Monson, whose book Other Electricities I rather liked. Sounds to me like a literary anthology worth looking for.
