M illhauser, S teven

Abstract

Steven Millhauser has been called one of the most original writers to emerge from the 1970s. His novels, Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer, 1943–1954, by Jeffrey Cartwright (1972), and Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer (1996), are his most lauded books to date. He is also the author of seven collections of short stories and novellas, and several uncollected stories and articles. One of his short stories was adapted for The Illusionist (2006), a major motion picture.
