Stephan Dixon's Urban Vignettes
Stephan Dixon, an American writer, explores urban environments and everyday banality, subverting conventional realism. His novels such as 'Ordures', 'Jamais trop tard', and 'Le lait, c'est très bon pour vous' draw from the realist tradition, extracting ready-mades and twisting them into parody. Heavily influenced by cinema, particularly the sardonic humor of silent film comedians like Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, and W.C. Fields, Dixon takes visible delight in staging conflicts.
