Inventing the Abbotts Tapa blanda - 1988

Delta, 1988. Fine. In this collection of 11 stories, Miller exhibits the same insight into cha racter and gift for describing contemporary relationships evidenced in The Good Mother. "The Birds and the Bees" and "Ernest" express the same subtle knowledge of a child's sensibilities and fears displayed in that novel. The mothers in "Leaving Home" and the title story learn that they cannot prote ct their children from the hurts of the world. No happy marriages exist her e (the only one of long duration, in "Appropriate Affect,"is revealed as a sham), and the protagonists of most of the stories are individuals trying b ut failing to connect emotionally in a society where "all the rules have ch anged." In "Travel" and "Slides," men take photos of their lovers naked, pi ctures which survive the breakup of their relationships to provide a record of disillusionment and pain.
