Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steven Millhauser's latest collection of short stories (many first appearing in The New Yorker) shows off his trademark inventiveness and stylistic brio. His love of Kafka and Borges can be seen in the story "In the Reign of Harad IV," in which a miniaturist begins to make works so small that no one can see them, and "Here at the Historical Society" in which the archival records start to hold the future instead of the past. Though certainly a writer in the postmodern mode, Millhauser's artfulness never grows tiresome or self-conscious--rather, these are works full of wonder, absurdity, humor, tragedy, and joy. Selected as one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2008.

Industry Reviews
"One of the most inventive contemporary American fiction writers....Hilarious." (starred review)
(12/01/2007)

"Phenomenal clarity and rapacious movement are only two of the virtues of Millhauser's new collection....Millhauser's stories draw us in all the more powerfully, extending his peculiar domain further than ever." (starred review)
(12/17/2007)

"Marvels within marvels, from a writer whose prose possess the equivalent of what musicians call perfect pitch."
(01/01/2008)
