The Miller Masks: A Novel in Stories

Jesse Miller wears a lot of masks. He's a freelance writer, a bicoastal academic, a husband, an ex-husband, a father, a son, a lover, a teller of tales, a college kid, a college teacher, a tennis player, a man on the make, a man on the come, a man on the job, a man on the ropes, and on the mend. Jesse can't wear all those masks at once: the interconnected stories that make this a novel span five decades of his life, but the ghosts of those masks have a way of coming back to haunt him as he goes from youth to middle age experiencing epiphany after epiphany.
