"NateDixon’s masterfully crafted stories back readers into a corner and make themsquirm. Challenging and subversive, Radical Red picks at theabsurd contradictions and injustices that are woven into the fabric of Americandemocracy." –Maggie Su, authorof Blob: A Love Story"RadicalRed is a corrective to a most peculiar trend in American letters. For closeto four decades, writers have incrementally squeezed themselves into tighterperceptual and experiential corners. We call it, ‘staying in one's lane.’ Whileit's true you can't tell another's story, it's all in vain if our stories don'tmove others, spark the imagination, move the heart, and keep the Americanconversation alive. Nathan Dixon's galvanic, strange, and beautifully writtencollection says, ‘I hear you, cousins. Let's keep this thing going.'" –Reginald McKnight, author of HeSleeps"Philip Roth famously said ofAmerican Reality that it instills in the American Fiction writer a kind ofprofessional envy. Nathan Dixon, in the extra extreme fictions found in Radical Red, creates a Reality AmericanReality must envy for real. These fictions are squared dances of Sydenham’schorea, crowd sourced unbroken fevered dreams on steroids. All the circuitbreakers breaking, all the clocks persistently melting. Dixon is a dementedDonald Barthelme dispensing meter-read disgraces, a media influencer Vonnegutdoing unstuck loose-limbed tap dances on Bizarro TikTok." –Michael Martone, author of PlainAir: Sketches from Winesburg, Indiana and The Complete Writings of Art Smith, The Bird Boy of Fort Wayne
