Book Summary and Reviews of Dangerous Laughter by Steven Millhauser

Media Reviews

"Marvels within marvels, from a writer whose prose possesses the equivalent of what musicians call perfect pitch." - Kirkus Reviews.

"Starred Review. Though his exaggerated outlook on contemporary life might seem to be at once uncomfortably clinical and fantastical, Millhauser's stories draw us in all the more powerfully, extending his peculiar domain further than ever." - Publishers Weekly.
