IN THE REIGN OF HARAD IV
SHORT STORY REVIEW - A miniature maker--honored with a fur coat to
attend court—creates doll house furniture with incredible detail. He loses
himself in his own ambitions, ever creating things that are smaller and
smaller, that his apprentices check on him one day. He has made a doll house so
small, that it is invisible, even under powerful magnification. In The Reign of
Harad IV by Steven Millhauser the author explores themes common to his other
works, small moments, replicating reality, small models and exploration of the
literary fantastic. This Pulitzer prizewinning writer has authored Dangerous
Laughter, A Precursor of the Cinema and The Other Town.
