My novels check out different genres and personalities. Soon to appear (all going well), is a comedy set on the periphery of Paris inspired by comix, Hollywood, the internet, Rabelais and James Joyce. Later on, a sequel to Enclosures (2008) should appear, written partly during a writing fellowship in NZ. It is a kind of a ride through a traffic jam to joy.

Some responses:
To Wormwood -- “Entropy and death read as metaphors for the implosion of post-war Europe and the failure of capitalism.”[1]
To Song of the Brakeman -- “a vividly conceived world here, manifesting slowly and brilliantly through its accumulating signs”.[2]

The Bilders are groups of various musicians and friends. We are known for our live approach to music making and a recording style that has produced “many genuine classic compositions”. [Dix, John (1988). Stranded in Paradise].

Sometimes we work under other names such as Bill D. & Hamish Kilgour, Bill D. & Ferocious, or Bill D. & the HAT. The music may range from sparse pop to avant-garage to impressionistic noise. See News.
