"No one alive writes better about yearning and heartbreak. . . . Before such mastery, a reader can do nothing but bow his head." --The Washington Post Book World
"Millhauser . . . uses his lush prose and archetypal motifs to trace the outer arcs of passion, places where eros and violence meet. . . . This writer is in love with a large, very beautiful tiger, and at its best the fiction he produces is an exquisite negotiation with the beast." --The New York Times Book Review "[Millhauser] seeks always to spellbind rather than merely to entertain . . . . He never fumbles a word out of place, never lets fall an unfelicitous phrase, and especially never looks down during his high-wire imaginative act." - San Francisco Chronicle "In a mere 80 pages or so, [Millhauser] can whistle up worlds as bright and intricate as a Mozart piano sonata or as ominous and ethereal as a Charles Ives symphony . . . powerful, spellbinding reading." --The Seattle Times "An ingenious geometer of love triangles, Millhauser tinkers with tested formulas in these three novellas, while giving full rein to his taste for the fantastical. . . . [His] shrewd sense of psychology makes his characters' impulses toward romantic excess manifestly believable." -The New YorkerThe Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler explores the diverse faces and shapes of love in three novellas--"Revenge," a study of erotic love and betrayal, as well as two works, "An Adventure of Don Juan" and "The King in the Tree," which transform classic fables into original tales of romance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A master of literary transformation, Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Millhauser turns his attention to the transformations of love in these three hypnotic novellas. While ostensibly showing her home to a prospective buyer, the narrator of 'Revenge" unfolds an origami-like narrative of betrayal and psychic violence. In 'An Adventure of Don Juan" the legendary seducer seeks out new diversion on an English country estate with devastating results. And the title novella retells the story of Tristan and Ysolt from the agonized perspective of King Mark, a husband who compulsively looks for evidence of his wife's adultery yet compulsively denies what he finds. Combining enchantment as ancient as Sheherezade's with up-to-the-minute acuity and unease, The King in the Tree is Millhauser at his best. Artikel-Nr. 9781400031733
