“Extraordinary, entertaining, and thought-provoking collection of original stories by an impressively talented author that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after it is finished….” —Midwest Book Review
The characters—young and old, queer and straight, contemporary and historical—who inhabit Lynn C. Miller’s stories often find themselves in defining moments and crisis situations. Stretching the definition of “archive” Miller builds interconnected webs that surprise, much like the seemingly random papers collected in a box of materials. Fraught relationships, mistaken identities, mysterious disappearances, and the search for love play out in these stories. Friendships are celebrated, ex-husbands cross the line, and Gertrude Stein attempts to write her memoir.
