From a striking talent with keen powers of observation comes this
evocation of the eccentric Miller family's tangled connections
between themselves, an unlikely cast of locals, and a
seldom-documented urban Iowa, one not of cows and cornstalks but of
concrete and rust, full of longstanding institutions buckling under
economic pressures and peopled by citizens adrift in an America
that began to vanish in the 1960s and '70s.
Miller has engulfed the reader in a dysfunctional family
searching for what it means to be a family and a city grasping for
identity in the wake of strip malls and pop cultural trinkets. From
this expansive debut interspersed with Bob Campagna's vintage
photographs of urban Iowa in the '70s readers will emerge rooted to
the terra firma of our national literature and reminded of the
dreams we inherit as our own, long after we've moved away.
