Review:

"Moonlit, entrancing. . . . [Millhauser is] master of a prose that doesn't merely aspire to the condition of music but actually achieves it." --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World

"Writing in tableaux as concise as magic spells . . . Millhauser is at his poetic best." --Los Angeles Times

"Lovely . . . a mini-opera. . . . the collective dramas that make up [Enchanted Night] are strikingly aural, visual and emblematic. . . . [Millhauser's] prose remains consistently sensual and rhythmic, alive with color." --Newsday

"Enchanted Night feels teeming, complete and note perfect." --Chicago Tribune
