About

Steven Millhauser's new novel is set in turn-of-the-century New York City, when new buildings were bursting from the bedrock of Manhattan every, day and you might have met an inventor or entrepreneur on any street corner. One such entrepreneur is Martin Dressier, a cigar maker's son, a young man who has the ability -- and audacity -- to make his wildest dreams come true.

We watch as the young Martin makes the ascent from a hotel bellhop to a builder of hotels of his own. When Martin sets out to build the Grand Cosmo, this mesmerizing novel brings us face to face with the ambiguity beneath the optimism of the American dream with a swiftness and intensity that are in themselves magnificently dreamlike.
