Author, actor, director, educator, podcaster, and publisher Lynn C. Miller tells readers about her new story collection, The Lost Archive. Not only are the stories within smart and engaging, but our interview includes a discussion of the art and craft of short story writing itself. Lynn’s insights into setting and identity, short story ending trends, and writing short pieces in the midst of longer works are all invaluable and fun to read. Read the full interview.
The Lost Archive went on a blog tour in August and new reviews are in:
“A wonderful collection of short stories that totally blew me away…. So many of the stories read stuck with me, I couldn’t stop thinking about them in between sittings, and I just kept reaching for it again, trying to find some time in the day for ‘just one more’. …The first story ‘Archival Footage’ is the perfect opener for what’s to come, and really made me think about how different our own stories might be from the perspectives of others involved. For a short story it’s pretty deep and really sets the tone. My personal favourites were Afterthought, Pueblo Luna, Duluth, Words Shimmer, Everyday Monsters and Flight. Flight is only just over three pages long but it is full of feeling, I just loved it.”—@rumpledpages
“Miller turns her hand to first-, second-, and third-person points of view with consistent skill, her descriptions of people and places are detailed and vivid, and the dialogue between her characters is authentic and believable. Themes that particularly jumped out at me were characters dealing with ageing and death in relatives; characters finding the positives in their own ageing; nagging discontents within relationships; postmortems of broken relationships; and women overcoming people and things that have previously kept them down. I felt uplifted by these stories where women take back control and twist the narrative, namely How Much Is Enough?, Words Shimmer, Flight, and The Last Usher. There are also less uplifting stories that nonetheless convey important, resonant messages about sexism and rape culture. The Lost Archive is a well-written and wide-ranging short story collection that’s full of interesting ideas.”—Dr. Alice Violett
