This unique and fantastic new novella is the tale of one Michael Johnson who lives his life in reverse, starting from the day he died back to the date of his birth.PETER STRAUB SAYS: "This dazzling, melancholy, and thoroughly gripping book reminds me of why the now unjustly-forgotten Robert Nathan was such a satisfying writer. In MIRANDA, John R. Little uses crisp writing and a masterly sense of pace to structure a brilliant short novel filled with invention, courage, and baffled love."GARY BRAUNBECK SAYS: "You are about to experience one of the most moving, superbly-written, and exhilaratingly imaginative pieces of fiction that it's been my privilege to encounter."

This book was nothing like what I expected. In fact, I'm still a little confused by it and have had a hard time sorting out my feelings. Mr. Johnson dies and then begins living his life backwards. This is where the confusion sets in. People are talking forward but Mr. Johnson is hearing backwards. This and all of the other backward things made my head hurt.
What did come across very well is Mr. Johnson's loneliness. It's heartbreaking, so the reader is happy when he meets Miranda, who is also living her life backwards. From there on, well there's only one way it can end, isn't there? Or is there another way out? You'll have to read it and see for yourself.
This tale requires some thought from the reader, while at the same time demanding that the reader not put too much thought into certain aspects. If that sounds intriguing to you, give it a shot, you'll probably enjoy it! ( )
