Filled with burning parade floats, bear attacks and roller derby leagues, D.D. Miller's short stories present us with a comical collection of slacker heroes who get what they deserve in startling ways. These men are survivors, but they fail to appreciate how fortunate they are, and they watch helplessly as their lives unravel, if only because they fail to act.
Miller's deft sentences and sharp characterization bring these stories to life, pulling readers into the lives of his cast of self-centred underdogs. Readers will find themselves sympathizing with these characters while laughing at the calamities Miller has artfully scattered in their paths.
