Stanley Elkin's epic tale of history and character, fate and class. An ambitious, digressive, and endlessly entertaining account of the thousand-year history of the George Millses, George Mills is the antithesis to the typical Horatio Alger story. Since the First Crusade, there has always been a George Mills, who-despite his best efforts- is unable to improve his position in life or that of his descendants. Instead, all the George Millses are forced to accept their lot as blue-collar workers, serving important personages in a series of odd jobs ranging from horse talker in a salt mine to working as a furniture mover in contemporary St. Louis. But the latest in the long line of George Millses may also be the last, as he obsesses about his family's history and determines that he will be the one to break this doomed cycle of servitude.

Enjoyed this book immensely. Tells it like it was. Our Family MILLS surely has had its ups and downs. This is just a cross section, of just one persons travel through their life, getting here from there. , And anyone who wants a little insight to family, should take the time to read through it. Researching family for many years, and wish I had come across this book sooner. Would have let a lot of light on the subject. Again, I am coming from a total different point of view than most. Very interested in where I came from and hopefully, will be very helpful to those who will come after all of us. Just an excellent read, all the way round.
