'With The Last Days of California, Mary Miller bursts into the literary world, taking up the mantle of Southern fiction and rendering it her own with wry vulnerability and contemporary urgency." (Liveright Books, 2014)
"The affably directionless young women of Mary Miller's Always Happy Hour, a collection of sixteen short stories originally published in literary magazines...are not the sort of idealistic Millennials who campaigned ardently for Bernie Sanders; they are young Americans so estranged from society, so preoccupied with their own small. vacuous lives, that would probably decline to vote in a presidential election if they were aware of it." (The New York Review, 2017)
