Böcker av Tim Miller

NINE OVER PAR is Tim Miller's second collection of golf-themed stories. At the heart of this collection is a novella about a stand-up comedian that has one last chance to live a life of laughter and comedy. This story also features the ghost of Phineas Gage, neuroscience's most famous patient, as a character and sidekick in an adventure that includes wildfires, NFL football, and traumatic brain injuries. Filling out the collection are flash fiction stories featuring Tim Miller's unique blend of wit and humor. Together with "Nine Under Par" these books are at the intersection of golf and literary fiction.

Nine stories, sprawled out like nine holes. Always the same, but always different. As with the temperature, wind, and visibility, the leavesand the grass. So it is with the golfer, the reader. Young and old. Happy and sad. Looking forward,looking back... nine chances. Places to seek, alone or together, with friends, family, ghosts and strangers. Success and failure. Love and loneliness. Birdies and bogeys, lies and truth, but always ourselves.

Spooves is Tim Miller's debut collection of short, humorous fiction.

This book is like a tube of strange goo that will make you laugh, or, at the very least, ponder the plural of "spoof."

"The Lonely Young and the Lonely Old" is a collection of lyrical fictions.

Barbecue: A History examines barbecue's history and place in American society using both historical and contemporary sources. The book examines all aspects of barbecue-both outdoor grilling and traditional slow cooking; restaurant and home cooking; international barbecue; specific foods; and the idea of the barbecue as a gathering.

Tim Miller takes us on a fascinating tour of home cooking and eating in America - where it's been and where it's going - as well as a vivid accounting of our stubborn unwillingness to give it up all together in the face of easy, processed, and prepared meals.
