Synopses & Reviews
The Ingram Interview, K.B. Dixon's unrepentantly quirky new novel, weaves its way interrogatively through the life of Daniel Ingram, a retired, none-too-healthy English professor who has been kicked out of an assisted-care facility because he was depressing other residents. Moving in temporarily with a former student of his-a young art-film maker named Michael Berger-Daniel works fitfully on a ramshackle memoir as he continues to pursue a reconciliation with his absent ex-wife.
Review
Dixon's novels are "lean, tight, minimalist, quizzical, modern, urban.
He's an acute observer with a humorous, slightly jaundiced eye, and he
takes wry pleasure in playing around with literary form." Bob Hicks, Art Scatter

"...densely packed with thought-provoking, savvy, wise and often funny
observations." Nancy Horner, Bookfoolery and Babble

and...profound." The Oregonian

Review
"I have never read anything quite like Dixon's books. Quick, quirky,
