Strand Notes

The long-awaited novel by master experimental stylist, Stephen Dixon is a worthy addition to the growing canon of McSweeney's publications. This lavish die-cut and cloth bound edition featuring artwork from Daniel Clowes, is seemingly autobiographical novel in the form of linked stories that explores the limitations of memory and the frustrations of the narrator's life, as he cares for his two daughters and his handicapped wife, whose condition worsens as the narrator struggles with his own sense of mortality. "I." is another bold attempt to redefining the meaning on a novel, in the same tradition as Dixon's "Gould."
