This book features twelve fabulous stories from 'the most inventive, wistful, sexy, and wryly comic writer of our time' ("Washington Post"), his first book since "Martin Dressler". Unmistakably Millhauser, these stories range from the imaginative to the phantasmagoric, and all inhabit a strange world, part American, part European, wholly fantastic.
