Alone Again


Alone Again by Jonathan Miller 156 pages

This is Miller’s second collection of short stories. There are 14 stories. The all have great titles, which promise great reads. Like “The Father, the Son and the Cincinnati Red,”  “The Writer and The Writer’s Wife” and my favorite title, “A Girdle, Two Tampons and a Deadline.” Don’t those just make you want to read them right away…which I did. That’s one of the beauties of the a short story collection, a reader doesn’t have to read in sequence.


The stories were okay. One of the things that make a great read great is the tension. Unfortunately, all of these stories lacked that crucial element. Alone Again receives 3 stars out of 5 in Julie’s world.
