Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A master of literary transformation, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler turns his attention to the transformations of love in these three hypnotic novellas. No one alive writes better about yearning and heartbreak. Before such mastery, a reader can do nothing but bow his head. The Washington Post Book WorldWhile ostensibly showing her home to a prospective buyer, the narrator of Revenge unfolds an origami-like narrative of betrayal and psychic violence. In An Adventure of Don Juan the legendary seducer seeks out new diversion on an English country estate with devastating results. And the title novella retells the story of Tristan and Ysolt from the agonized perspective of King Mark, a husband who compulsively looks for evidence of his wifes adultery yet compulsively denies what he finds. Combining enchantment as ancient as Sheherezades with up-to-the-minute acuity and unease, The King in the Tree is Millhauser at his best.
