I found a copy of George Mills in a Little Free Library and have just started reading it. Exquisite. And immensely musical, as you say. Thanks for cataloging his work.

"I stop at this passage as if to admire the view from a cherished overlook"

Your illuminating prose has so many of these breathtaking overlooks, I sometimes lose sight of the intended view, i.e. Stanley Elkin, and instead, view the overlook itself, awed by its perfection (Exactly! Those places where we stop reading to admire a passage are exactly like cherished overlooks! How did you find precisely the right image?) l always come back, though, to the view, to see what you're admiring there, and never fail to gain a new appreciation. You're a brilliant guide. Thank you!
