Books with title You're on Your Own

"On Your Own" is best described as workmanlike ... [It has] a kind of wistful sincerity and seriousness of purpose. The characters in these stories and vignettes live with a pervasive sense that the world is not what it should be. Miller maps this shadowland with grace, sadness, and no small amount of wonder." – Kevin Nance, contributor/writer at Chicago Tribune Books"I found myself becoming attached to these small-town, small-time dreamers and strivers. Jonathan Miller's spare, understated prose tugs you right into their dreams and disappointments." – Jamie Lucke, Lexington (Ky.) Herald-LeaderOn Your Own, Jonathan Miller's story collection, follows the kind of people you know, but reveals the thoughts and feelings they might never tell you.These characters – young brothers, struggling husbands and wives, aging bachelors, restless office workers – maneuver through the worlds of childhood, sports, marriage, alcohol, sex, the workplace, and longing for connection, under Miller's honest gaze. His clean, straightforward writing does not rely on extravagant plots (though significant surprises occur); he finds a quiet richness in events that can and do happen to all of us every day.Like the sun providing a rare glimpse down the clear water of a well, the clarity of prose in On Your Own allows us to witness people as their deeper realizations become known.
