Maybe I should try something 'conventional, ' reportorial, nonfictional-get in touch, even if just obliquely, with the real world again.\" Purportedly culled from a cache of donated papers, K. B. Dixon's new novel, Novel Ideas, is an unorthodox character study, a look at one writer's life from the inside. A mosaic collection of excerpted letters and emails written by the author Stephen Styles to his close friend, the novelist Alan Dodd, the book follows Styles as he struggles to write a true crime story-a story that must, in the end, compete with friends, family, and other ideas (novel ideas) for his attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baffling Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45131531321495,"sku":"9781734675955","price":1119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781734675955.webp?v=1767906254","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/novel-ideas-9781734675955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
