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.
