The Knife Thrower and Other Stories Hardcover - 1998

by Millhauser, Steven


From the publisher

From a magically evocative tale of a game of baseball in the moonlit night to vividly imagined stories of soaring on flying carpets and drifting in a balloon, from a meditation on the painful otherness of the adolescent soul to a phantasmagoric allegory about the regression of a fabulous amusement park from sunlit innocence to mephitic decadence, these stories demonstrate why Steven Millhauser is one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.

"As Gothic as Poe and as imaginative as Fantasia, Millhauser's deceptive fables are funny and warm. But they're dark as dungeons, too -- unsettling and possibly dangerous. He bewitches you". -- Entertainment Weekly

"Mr. Millhauser possesses a bountiful imagination and an ability to catch his perceptions in a bright butterfly net of prose". Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
