Download or read book Goodbye Mr Dixon written by Iain Crichton Smith and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The titular Mr Dixon is not the novel's main character but the creation of the novel's main character, Tom Spence. Spence describes himself as "an embryo novelist"; he has had the odd job - for example, delivering mail - but is largely without skills and has bet all on his career as a writer. Unfortunately he has "never brought a novel to a successful conclusion" never mind had one published, and, unable to live the dream, has instead dreamed it through his protagonist, Drew Dixon. His novel has ground to a halt because he has decided Dixon will "meet a girl of twenty-five or thereabouts whose entry into his world was to change his life" but has no idea how to write it. Fortuitously he meets a young woman, Ann, and, as their relationship develops we begin to sense that it will be Spence's life that is changed rather than Dixon's. As Spence's isolation ends he revisits his past, attempting to contact the mother he hasn't seen in years and returning to his old school to see the English teacher who he believes encouraged him to write. Increasingly his admiration for Dixon turns to hatred and Spence is forced to choose between life and art.

Will he survive El Come Huevos, The Egg Eater, who tortures his victims before he kills them? Do the rocks of Cerro Nublado really hide a dangerous secret in plain sight? Even if Peter survives the hidden Russian agendas, relentless attacks, and the world of the Fascist president, can he survive his love for Maria?

Aislin Laraway is the daughter of a wealthy lawyer from New Jersey. From the onset of the war, she is forced to make the most important decision of her life: to obey the laws of her government or do what she feels is right. When her father and brothers choose to side with the Patriots, their lives are put in jeopardy; and its Aislin who will pay the price. Chased from New England to the other end of the colonies, these two are inundated with the most unthinkable trials. Reprieves are short-lived; solace, impossible to find; and freedom eludes them, even in the paradise of East Florida. A relationship formed in the birth of a nation, Redefining Never tells their epic story engulfed in battles and events accurately chronicled, based on firsthand accounts. This is the story of accomplishing the impossible that which never should have been.
