I am a big fan of Craig Miles Miller's CHESTER STUBBS. In Chester he has created one of the most infuriating and lovable screw-ups of all time. Rude, clumsy, perhaps, even misbegotten, yet imbued with the true spirit from beginning to end, it doesn't matter, Chester's our man. Miller's style is deceptively simple, it just flows and flows, taking us from laughter, to heartbreak, to understanding, to, in fact, just about wherever you'd like a novel to take you. CHESTER STUBBS is a book that gave me a lot of hope and even more laughs. What more could a reader ask for?

Really an amazing book. To create such a character and such a "voice" AND have him delve into a real literary plot--this is the mark of a true writer. It may offend some, but it should delight most. Chester is one of the most original characters ever to appear on the page, and the tale of his reconnection to humanity and community is priceless. A great start for a career of writing!
A magnificent debut!

Craig Miles Miller writes like a hurricane -- his prose is forceful, turbulent, unpredictable, and at times deceptively calm. Miller reminds me of Larry Brown at his grittiest and of T.C. Boyle at his wittiest. After reading "Chester Stubbs" you'll walk away a little shaken and little wiser. Buy it today.
