A short story collection full of powerful prose and remarkably genuine individuals from the author of The Last Days and nights of California. The individuals in Mary Miller's debut brief story collection, Big World, are in once autonomous and lonesome, having both a longing to connect with those around them and a cynicism regarding their capability to do so, whether they're holed up in a motel room in Pigeon Forge with an air-gun-shooting partner, such as "Fast Trains", or navigating the rooms of their residence with their father after their mother's loss of life such as "Leak". Mary Miller's writing is unapologetically genuine and successful, and the gut-wrenching directness of her prose is reminiscent of Mary Gaitskill and Courtney Eldridge - if Gaitskill's and Eldridge's experiences were set in the South and reeked of spilled beer and cigarette smoke.
