Always Happy Hour: Stories
By Mary Miller
256 pages;
Liveright
In Miller’s new collection, a tipsy glow surrounds her Southern women as they trawl for cocktails, honky-tonk music, and men while nursing an inner ache they can’t booze away. In lucid, vivid prose, Miller renders them alive to lust and, however improbably, to love.
