The Book of Flying by Keith Miller

The Book of Flying by Keith Miller

A gorgeously poetic tale of fantasy for adults, The Book of Flying is a beautiful modern fable and daring new take on the quest narrative.

In Keith Miller's debut novel, our hero is Pico, a poet and librarian who is and forbidden to pursue the girl of his dreams - for she has wings, and Pico does not. When he discovers an ancient letter in his library telling of the mythical Morning Town where the flightless may gain their wings, he sets off on a quest. It's a magical journey and coming-of-age story in which he meets a robber queen, a lonely minotaur, a cannibal, an immortal beauty, and a dream seller. Each has a story, and a lesson, for Pico-about learning to love, to persevere, and, of course, to fly.

KEITH MILLER earned a J.D. from Columbia Law School in New York City and now works for a liberal arts college in a small town. Before all of that, he was raised as the typical suburban Evangelical. These diverse communities have stirred his fascination with cities, suburbs and the idea of place. He is a contributing writer at Mere Orthodoxy and WORLD Magazine. He and his wife have three children.
