Description
Biloxi, a novel by Mary Miller, is a tender and gritty tale of middle age and the unexpected turns life can take. Set in Biloxi, Mississippi, the story follows Louis McDonald, Jr., a man who has been forlorn since his wife left him and his father passed away. On a routine trip to Walgreens, Louis meets Harry Davidson, who offers him an overweight mixed breed dog named Layla. Without any rational explanation, Louis feels compelled to take the dog home, and the two become inseparable. As they spend more time together, Louis finds himself reevaluating his life and exploring new horizons. Mary Miller's "sociologist's eye for the mundane" brings to life a cast of characters that populate the Gulf Coast with Ann Beattie-like authenticity. This heartwarming tale of loneliness, masculinity, and the limitations of each is a testament to Miller's position as one of our most gifted and perceptive writers.
