Mary Miller
“With Biloxi, Miller returns to the South, capturing its feeling, its sensibilities, and its voices perfectly. As the novel opens, Miller introduces readers to middle-aged Louis McDonald, Jr., a lovable grouch in a perfectly depressing rut. Soon after he adopts a mixed-breed dog he names Layla, Louis begins to see things a little differently. Biloxi follows this new pair of friends as they deal with life through all of its twists and turns.”
