Descriere magazin:
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler --hailed by The New Yorker as a virtuoso of waking dreams--comes a dazzling collection of darkly comic stories united by their obsession with obsession. Remarkable ... Not just brilliant but prescient. -- The New York Times Book Review In Dangerous Laughter , Steven Millhauser transports us to unknown universes that uncannily resemble our own. The collection is divided into three parts that fit seamlessly together as a whole. It opens with a bang, as Cat \'n\' Mouse reimagines the deadly ritual between cartoon rivals in a comedy of dynamite and anvils--a masterly prologue that sets the stage for the alluring, very grown-up twists that follow. Part one, Vanishing Acts, features stories of risk and escape: a lonely woman disappears without a trace; a high school boy becomes entangled with his best friend\'s troubled sister; and a group of teenagers play a treacherous game that pushes them deep into the kingdom of forbidden things. Excess reigns in the vivid, haunting places of Part two\'s Impossible Architectures, where domes enclose whole cities, and a king\'s master miniaturist creates objects so tiny that soon his entire world is invisible. Finally, Heretical Histories presents startling alternatives to the remembered past. A Precursor of the Cinema proposes a new, enigmatic form of illusion. And in the astonishing The Wizard of West Orange a famous inventor sets out to simulate the sense of touch--but success brings disturbing consequences. Sensual, mysterious, Dangerous Laughter is a mesmerizing journey through brilliantly realized labyrinths of mortal pleasures that stretch the boundaries of the ordinary world to their limits--and occasionally beyond.
