In this acclaimed collection of short stories, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stephen Millhauser showcases his signature blend of dark suspense and humor. The narratives delve into the lives of artists driven to madness, egomaniacal architects, and a historical society that has abandoned its purpose, all while exploring the profound impact of misdirected human desire and ambition. Millhauser's imaginative storytelling is highlighted by “phenomenal clarity and rapacious movement,” making each story a compelling experience.
