Books are available for purchase through The Bookend.

author of Always Happy Hour

Mary Miller  will read from her most recent story collection, Always Happy Hour, which according to Publisher’s Weekly "feels so true because it never glosses over the desperate or unflattering portrayals of its narrators, but neither does it exploit their faults.” Miller teaches in The W’s low-residency MFA program. Her previous books include the novel Last Days of California and the story collection Big World.
