Miller's latest asks what survives the end of an age: If not mercy, hope? If not the dreamer, the dream?
The Elusive Pursuit of Happiness maps the contours of ancient grief and modern survival. Miller faces powerful enemies--fascism, censorship, state violence, prejudice, and poverty--with the doggedness of an adventurer. From a meditation on history emerges a heartening sensitivity to the gifts of ordinary life: the scent of narcissus, the taste of apricots, the wonder of a body in love. Hope becomes an antidote to suffering, and "kindness is better than immortality."
