The Knife Thrower and Other Stories
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Random House Inc
- Publish date: 03/01/1999
Description:
A multitiered amusement park whose lower levels provide thrills too potent for the average visitor. A knife thrower who specializes in the administration of artful wounds. An automaton theater whose players make human beings seem pale and clumsy by comparison.
Expand description
The creations in these dazzling stories could only spring from the imagination of Steven Millhauser. Whether conjuring the landscape beneath our cellars or a balloonist's view of heaven, or transforming a department store into an alternate universe of infinite plenitude and menace, The Knife Thrower and Other Stories proves that Millhauser is a contemporary heir to Nabokov, Calvino, and Borges.
