Reviews
Dangerous Laughter / Steven Millhauser We have received the following praise for the above: "Dangerous Laughter groups three sets of smart, darkly obsessive stories around the themes of risk-taking, imaginary places, and ersatz biographies, all led off by a crazy cartoon cat-and-mouse slapstick drama rendered with pure cloak-and-dagger delight." Lisa Shea, Elle "Tales fueled by curiosity and wonder, from a master . . . [who] is consistently so much fun to read . . . Everything one has come to want and expect in Millhauser's fiction is herespooky attics, fantastic inventions, artists driven mad, and ambitious enterprises that become overattenuated and impossible to sustain. The result is almost a Steven Millhauser primer, a much needed fix for fans . . . and a perfect introduction for those unacquainted with his writing. . . . ['A Precursor to the Cinema' and 'The Wizard of West Orange' are] marvelous stories that make the suspension of disbelief feel like no work whatsoever . . . Millhauser has done nothing here to diminish his reputation as one of our most dazzling storytellers. 'It was said that no matter how closely you examined one of the Master's little pieces, you always discovered some further wonder,' he writes of his obsessive court miniaturist [in 'In the Reign of Harad IV']. The same could be said of Steven Millhauser." Jeff Turrentine, The Washington Post Book World "Steven Millhauser's best story collection. [Dangerous Laughter] sums up everything he has been driving at since the beginning of his writing career. Adolescents sulk, break down, and die. Other charactersartists and ordinary people alikedisappear except for the barest trace, or create works of art impossibly small (really invisible) or structures impossibly large (encompassing the world). . . . ['The Room in the Attic'] is the most powerful evocation of adolescence that Millhauser has ever given us. . . . It is as if Millhauser imagined his stories so meticulously that he brought their contents into being . . . Every reader knows of writers who are like secrets one wants to keep yet whose books one wants to tell the world about. Steven Millhauser is mine. Of course, having won the Pulitzer Prize, he is no one's secret, but he is the writer I tell people about, confident they will be enthralled." David Rollow, Boston Sunday Globe "Prose wizardry . . . infused with magic: readers seeking the perfect introduction to Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Millhauser need look no further. His latest book, Dangerous Laughter, draws on every facet of his imagination, using bright, homespun Americana as a springboard into the cosmic and surreal. It lifts pop-culture artifacts and fairy-tale motifs into rich cerebral spheres. It delights in the paradoxical, the outlandish and the out-of-this-world. And it delivers its treats in a prose of such melodic wit and finesse that it's more akin to musicmaking than storytelling. Dangerous Laughter reminds us once again how lucky we are to be privy to Millhauser's shadowy, funhouse visions." Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times "Reviewers use words like enchantment recklessly, as though it happens to us all the time. Book reviewers are especially prone to describing books as 'enchanting,' pretending that a spell has actually been cast over us. If only it were so. As often as not, it is a spell of boredom. Steven Millhauser's books are the exception. . . . ['Cat 'n' Mouse'] sounds like a 'To
