	The Optimists: by Andrew Miller from Harcourt Trade Publishers
		In his third novel, The Optimists, the acclaimed British novelist Andrew Miller imagines the shattered life of a man who has witnessed a crime against humanity.
		But Clem's recovery is stalled when he learns the whereabouts of the man who led the massacre that haunts him, and he sets off to find a justice that he hopes will restore his faith in human nature.
		Miller's spare, precise prose, keen insights, and deep feeling for his characters make The Optimists a compelling exploration of some of the central moral questions of our time.

	Andrew Miller
		Novelist Andrew Miller was born in 1960 in Bristol, England, and has lived and worked in several countries, including Spain, France, Holland and Japan.
		Miller is a fine artist of richly painted scenes but seldom indulges in sensuous descriptions at the expense of page-turning pace.
		What Miller's novels have in common is that their main characters come to have a fretful relationship with their own pasts.

	The Scotsman - Critique - Forget you saw it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Miller’s 1999 debut novel, Ingenious Pain, winner of both the IMPAC prize and the James Tait Black award, told the story of an 18th-century surgeon who was impervious to suffering.
		But Miller had his reasons for wanting to add this to the main story: having worked in hospitals and seen the effects of mental illness in his family, he was aware how seldom depictions of it square with observable reality.
		That, at least, was how novelist Rose Tremain, who taught Miller on the respected University of East Anglia creative writing course, advised him to handle research: after you’ve done enough, she said, don’t write immediately, let it sink in, do something else; pick up the story again when you’re ready.

		It is a scintillating, poignant, often comic portrait, which confirms the presence of an outstanding new novelist.
		The thrusts and ploys of this frustrated courtship are stylishly recounted by an English-born novelist, expanding upon an episode in his subject's vast memoir.
		Miller's limning of London in 1763 and 1764, with its acrid stenches and incessant rains, has the picturesque grunge of a Hogarth sketch.'

		Andrew is wearing a thin brown leather jacket and a sweat-hoody, his curly hair greased back like a duck's ass.
		But Andrew's been caught plenty of times before, because of his haircut and his cheap clothes and the way he wears his shirts baggy and long in case he finds himself in a grocery store wanting to steal a melon, and his pinched, dishonest nose.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Special Reports \| Booker bridesmaid Bainbridge left out again
		Miller, who won the Impac award, richest in the world, for Ingenious Pain, was one of three less obvious choices, showing this jury is no respecter of reputations, nor to be cowed by public sentiment.
		But it was the exclusion of Bainbridge, described by the late Auberon Waugh as the "greatest writer never to win the Booker", that caused most protest when the six were announced amid the gilt and stucco of the patrician Savile Club in London's West End.
		All his usual themes are there - the gap between reason and emotion, lust and betrayal - against a backdrop that goes from a country house parties of the 1930s to the horrors of Dunkirk, with an epilogue supposedly written in 1999.

		Miller's previous novels, ''Ingenious Pain'' and ''Casanova in Love,'' were both set in the 18th century and demonstrated an admirable passion for ideas as well as emotions.
		Most crucial, it reminds us of the presence of the novelist, of an organizing intelligence creating these characters and plunging us into their lives in a thoroughly intimate fashion, only to insist a few pages later that we leave them behind and confront a different set of circumstances.
		Although Miller's methods may lead to a certain diminution of emotional impact, the ending of his novel more than rewards the attentive reader.

		I'm continually puzzled by the liberal allegation that 9-11 happened because the Bush administration distracted itself with missile defense--the latest version of this claim appears in today's Washington Post, which runs a big story on how Condi Rice was going to give a pro-missile defense speech the day the terrorists struck.

	Mundane reflections on horror - [Sunday Herald]
		When a writer has as impeccable a track record as Andrew Miller (winner of the James Tait Black memorial prize for his first novel, Ingenious Pain; shortlisted for the Booker for his third, Oxygen), one hesitates to spoil the run by announcing a bit of a dud.
		This is reminiscent of the tiresome “New Puritans” style that emerged a few years ago – no flashbacks, spare prose, lots of factual detail – and while it may reflect Clem’s inability to cope with anything fanciful or excessive, it also robs the novel of suspense.
		But this is a novel lacking enough depth on the relationship between photography and war to make us ask questions; nor does it have enough poetic sensibility for us care about Clem’s or his sister’s breakdowns.
