I heard you will be publishing a Stephen Dixon novel next year. Would it be possible to have a glimpse at the book cover yet? Thanks!

Hey Gould-
The day I learned we're publishing Stephen Dixon's next book I was a bit in disbelief. I had to verify with three different people that it was true before I could accept it. I've got a tentative cover designed and I will definitely make a post here on Flog when I feel like it's more finished. It's difficult to be designing a cover for someone who had such a major impact on me when I was younger (and who I still admire so much). So I'm not sure I want to post the image just yet.
I'm glad to hear you must be a Dixon fan. I hope everyone buys this book. It will be approximately 900 pages of uncollected short stories with this great title: What Is All This?
Dixon sent over a handful of self-portrait doodles that he's done over the top of his manuscripts for the book. I thought it would be interesting to try to use these, given the history of using portraits of the author on his jackets but I'm exploring doing a type-only cover. Something as obsessive as his writing.

Thanks Jacob for the answer!
A type only cover sounds like a great idea. That would make a difference since most of his recent covers involved drawings or portraits.
Dixon writes on a old type machine, and usually annotates his manuscript a lot. Could be interesting to use.
Anyway, can't wait to see your work. Good luck!
