The Knife Thrower: and Other Stories - Paperback
$21.00
by Steven Millhauser (Author)
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler--a collection of stories in the tradition of Nabokov, Calvino, and Borges that explores the magnificent obsessions of the unfettered imagination, as well as the darker, subterranean currents that fuel them. - "Tantalizing new stories.... Millhauser's ingenuity is delicious." --A. S. Byatt, The Washington Post Book World
With the panache of an old-fashioned magician, Steven Millhauser conducts his readers from the dark corners beneath the sunlit world to a balloonist's tour of the heavens. He transforms department stores and amusement parks into alternate universes of infinite plentitude and menace. He unveils the secrets of a maker of automatons and a coven of teenage girls. And on every page of The Knife Thrower and Other Stories, Millhauser confirms his stature as a narrative enchanter.
