Beloved for the zoom lens of the strange he places on small-town life, Steven Millhauser further reveals in Voices in the Night time the darkest elements of our interior selves to outstanding and dazzling impact. Here are reviews of wondrously imaginative hyperrealism, reviews that pose unsettling what-ifs or that find scarcely perceivable evils within the safe restrictions of our cities, homes, and even our anatomies. Here, too, are reviews culled from faith and fables: from Samuel, who in the masterly "A Voice in the Night" hears the speech of God phoning him in the night time; to a young, pre-enlightenment Buddha; to Rapunzel and her Prince awakened only to day-to-day disappointment. Heightened by magic, the divine, and the uncanny, taken through with sly laughter, Voices in the Night time seamlessly combines the whimsy and wonder of the acquainted with intoxicating fantasies that take us beyond our daily lives, all finished with the hallmark sleight of side and astonishing virtuosity of 1 of our greatest modern storytellers.
