The hallmark of Thomas Dixon Jr. was fragility. Dixon's writings, fiction, drama, and biography are imbued with the delicate state of whiteness, masculinity, femininity, nationality, and blackness. This pervasiveness is ironic, considering that the author's life and work were an attempt to solidify these categories—an endeavor that, in-stead, revealed these unstable labels as just that, as contingent at best. Dixon's corpus is about control, stability; these ideas eluded him, even in his fictive world and much less in the actuality of his existence.
