Steven Millhauser

Steven Millhauser is a master of magical realism, whose stories immerse readers in worlds where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. His prose style is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges, but with a distinctive American voice. Millhauser frequently explores themes of wondrous inventions, uncanny amusement parks, and dreamlike visions that come to life within his narratives. His tales, often steeped in mystery and melancholy, delve into the nature of art, illusion, and the yearning for something more.
