The Beach Diaries 2012 by Stuart Millard
Genre(s): Travel, Travel Writing, Essays & Travelogues
A shirtless old man trips over a dog. A heavily pregnant woman screams obscenities into the face of a stranger. Middle-class families politely nibble crust-less sandwiches beneath a giant, spray-painted phallus. This is the beach; unchanging, yet always something new. It’s here that Millard makes his return, expanding on 2011′s observations to spend a long, full summer walking among the tourists, vendors, and sweating locals.
But it’s a Royal Diamond Jubilee year, and the Olympics are coming to town — and the skies see fit to flood the sands. When the people wash away, material must be sought elsewhere, and from the mating rituals in the public toilets to the summer’s mixture of lust and lightning, this is anthropology for the digital age. Social nuances, overheard conversations, and the story beneath the surface; Millard is Alan Bennett raised in a game arcade by sarcastic voyeurs, and had people-watching been an Olympic event, his leering neck would hang heavy with the weight of gold.

“ Oh, how I wished I could’ve told her what had happened. How I wished I could’ve let go and allowed the tears to spill. But I knew that if I had cried, Mama would’ve asked me what the matter was. And if I had told her the truth, she would’ve said that I was lying. And if she thought that I was lying . . . well, you know the rest.
Still, I wonder . . . did she know?
Did anyone know?
Didn’t everyone know?”
Lucy Green Eyes is based on the true-life story of Merlene McDaniel as told from her eyes growing up in the segregated South. Although Merlene spends much of her early years dodging the stinging switches of an overly-strict grandmother, yearning for the embrace of a part-time mother, hoping for a smile from an oncoming stranger, or running from dirty old men, her inner strength allows her to ride on the wings of endless hope, and we can’t help but ride along.
