Always Happy Hour: Stories: Miller, Mary: 9781631493973

Always Happy Hour is a collection of stories that will leave you in awe of Mary Miller's literary prowess.

With a tipsy glow surrounding her Southern women, Miller masterfully renders them alive to lust and, improbably, to love.

Set in dilapidated foster homes, trailer parks, and even the empty corners of a dream home, these stories evoke the particular gritty comfort found in bad habits as hope turns to dust.

Through lucid and vivid prose, Miller's characters navigate their inner ache while searching for cocktails, honk-tonk music, and men.

With a meditation on the stories a person tells herself at its core, Always Happy Hour is a must-read for anyone who has ever faltered on the way to success and contentment.

Don't miss out on this essential role in American fiction.
