Changes

Miller is celebrated for his novel ''A Canticle for Leibowitz'', yet his stories are certainly masterful. Good works of short fiction like Miller's are tight and contained, making for excellent reading. Our entrance into his world is swift, and usually without any significant introduction; it is up to us to piece together clues, gaining a feel for the scene. Naturally, this leaves many uncertainties, since he does not have the luxury (or the obligation) to spend chapters offering detailed descriptions and accounts of where we are and what everyone is doing. Indeed, short stories can be so enjoyable to read because they require a lot from the reader in imagining what is left out. It is true, often Miller's stories are teasingly short, to the extent that we might wish they were novels of their own, but so much can be got from re-reading them that they hardly seem lacking at all.
