Miller returns with a new book of reportorial charm
Max Miller follows I Cover the Water Front with another enigmatic volume that puts him on a private pedestal as reporter extraordinary. The 250 page work reads simple and entertaining enough for a single sitting yet reveals solid meaning and a poetry like charm. The narrator leaves the desk for a dunes shack near the Pacific and chronicles adventures that feel thrilling yet mostly mental. He offers no moral or message, merely a life lived in raw curiosity and observation as a young woman asks about life at the shack.
