  Little Novels - Each a Meeting...

  Wilkie Collins

  Fourteen stories from Collins's late years: a dead man's photograph, a nurse who sees what is coming, a marriage annulled by Scottish law, a mesmerist. He invented the detective novel with The Moonstone, worked deep in laudanum for the last twenty years, and kept two households without marrying either woman. These are the short, sharp pieces from the end — machinery stripped down to what makes it turn. Fifty-nine plates by painters including Tissot and Grimshaw, from river scenes and harbour lights to parting glances, catch the chance encounters and quiet partings these stories turn on.

  Nine stories, sprawled out like nine holes. Always the same, but always different. As with the temperature, wind, and visibility, the leaves and 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. 
  What if Jesus Christ showed up for a round of twilight? What will the last golf match on Earth be like? These and other questions are answered in NINE UNDER PAR, Tim Miller's first collection of golf-themed short stories.
