Set in the rapidly transforming landscape of late nineteenth-century New York, this novel chronicles the meteoric rise of Martin Dressler, a visionary hotelier obsessed with creating the ultimate architectural experience. Through his relentless pursuit of impossible structures, Millhauser explores the intersection of American ambition, industrial innovation, and the surreal nature of urban expansion.
