520 "Mary Miller seizes the mantle of southern literature with
this wry tale of middle age and the unexpected turns a
life can take. Like her predecessors Ann Beattie and
Raymond Carver, Mary Miller brings an essential voice to
her generation. Building on her critically acclaimed novel,
The Last Days of California, and her biting collection,
Always Happy Hour, Miller slyly transports readers to her
unapologetic corner of the South--this time, Biloxi,
Mississippi, home to sixty-three-year-old Louis McDonald
Jr. His wife of thirty-seven years left him, his father
has passed--and he has impulsively retired from his job in
anticipation of an inheritance check that may not come. In
the meantime, he watches reality television, sips beer,
and avoids his ex-wife and daughter. One day, he stops at
a house advertising free dogs and meets overweight mixed-
breed Layla. Unexpectedly, Louis takes her, and, newly
invigorated, begins investigating local dog parks and
buying extra bologna. Mining the absurdities of life with
her signature "droll minimalist's-eye view of America"
(Joyce Carol Oates), Mary Miller's Biloxi affirms her
place in contemporary literature"--|cProvided by
