  The SF Site Featured Review: Dark Cities Underground & Reading List of Lisa Goldstein
One that Goldstein makes more complex by adding to it a myth of her own making -- that subway systems are the entrances to this underground world and that all subway systems are linked by portals which allow passage between one system and another.
Goldstein creates a world both ancient and strange where magic not only exists but is an element in the bricks of the houses, in the paving stones of the streets and in the very air that is breath itself.
Goldstein has included notes for each story in the collection which shed light on her sources of inspiration, working style and personality.

 Summer King Winter Fool (Lisa Goldstein)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Goldstein has created a beautiful novel about a world wonderfully different than ours, but which still reminds us of our own.
Lisa Goldstein has a good reputation in fantasy circles, but on the basis of this book I have to assume either that she is highly overrated or else that "Summer King, Winter Fool" is not particularly representative of her work as a whole.
Goldstein ignores the essential injunction to show, not tell, and the book hurries to its ending without creating the slightest tension along the way.

 Interview with Lisa Goldstein, by Dave Awl
As she begins unraveling the secret of her history, she encounters Goldstein's usual array of densely strange touches: secret diaries, tigers that speak, golden statues that come to life and funny old mansions with dusty, Byzantine mazes in their basements.
It's one of Goldstein's most lighthearted and enjoyable books, with the page-turning suspense of a mystery, brightened and made eccentric by Goldstein's Daliesque imagery, deadpan delivery and paragraphs that veer oneirically into poetry.
He knew something that we don't know, but he never talked about it." In that way, Goldstein says, the surreal family of magicians are modeled on the Marx family, using their magic to confound the expectations of others, as a way of demonstrating truths they cannot otherwise express.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Alchemist's Door
Ms Goldstein's reputation precedes her: her first novel, The Red Magician, was winner of the American Book Award in 1982, as well as listed in Neil Barron's standard reference, Fantasy & Horror: A Critical and Historical Guide, as one of the finest works of fantasy published in the last half of the twentieth century.
In her adherence to the alchemist's recorded and chronological travels, the author risks diverting the reader from the central impetus of her narrative, with the end result appearing pendulous to the development of her plot.
In her exploration of the union of opposites, alienation, spiritual belief, or the speculations into the nature of existence and identity as represented by Loew's creation and interaction with the golem, the author wields a light touch -- some might say too light.

 Review: Lisa Goldstein's The Alchemist's Door, reviewed by Genevieve Williams
All of that is quite enough for a bang-up yarn, but Goldstein adds still more: in addition to his work with the golem, Loew is also troubled by a Jewish legend that the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of thirty-six righteous men.
The sheer number of elements Goldstein has introduced here is dizzying; it would take a substantially longer novel to make sense of them all, and the author wisely gives us only the necessary bits and pieces.
Goldstein has an embarrassment of riches at hand when it comes to making life difficult for her characters and generally advancing her tale of mystical malevolence.

 Lisa Goldstein:  The Red Magician   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Lisa Goldstein's The Red Magician is another book which manages to walk this fine line.
This is caused, at least in part, by the fact that for Kicsi, the main character, it is a coming of age novel.
The Red Magician is Goldstein's first novel, but is written with a general clarity which allows the story of Kicsi's maturation to be told in a straightforward way without obscuring the ideas of responsibility, family, and otherness which are used throughout the novel.

 Amazon.com: Tourists: A Novel: Books: Lisa Goldstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In her third novel, Goldstein (The Red Magician) mixes Arthurian legends, an Arabian Nights' fantasy and a dash of Latin American magic realism to tell of an American family's adventures in the mythical Middle Eastern country of Amaz.
Goldstein has a clutch of engaging characters--especially the natives of Amaz with their superstitions, propensity for mysticism and long-simmering feuds.
They and the novel's highly imaginative, clearly depicted milieu are not well served, however, by awkwardly contrived situations and the weak resolution of the mystery, as Goldstein too often gets caught up in her own metaphorical net.

 Amazon.com: The Alchemist's Door: Books: Lisa Goldstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Although Goldstein's story has a tendency to meander all over the map, diluting her strong message about the cost of power and pride, Dee and Loew's search for truth makes for a telling morality tale.
Goldstein seems to have hacked her way through this novel without thinking things through first.
Shame on Goldstein for not polishing this haggard piece, and a pox on TOR for publishing such poorly written work.

"Lisa Goldstein has an outstanding ability to paint, with deft touches, a world where magic lurks just around the corner.

 Lisa Goldstein: Dark Cities Underground   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Lisa Goldstein has the dubious fortune to be one of those authors who are widely praised by critics and largely ignored by readers.
Her fantasy novels shade heavily into magical realism, and tend to be cleanly and clearly written, and full of emotional subtleties The latest of these, Dark Cities Underground is an oddly dark and dreamlike fantasy about archetypes, rebirth, and underground trains.
Goldstein does write better prose than Gaiman; her style is much less self-conscious, a rarity in the urban fantasy field.

 Lisa Goldstein: Personal Appreciation, by Michaela Roessner
There hasn't been a lot of consensus on the casting so far (and I won't tell you who's going to play me if you'll be kind enough to forgo telling me who's going to play you), but there is total agreement on one writer and one actress.
There was at one time, deep inside of her, a long-legged tan beach-baby blond screaming to be let out, but Lisa killed her with a silver bullet to the head and a stake to the heart.
The last is perhaps an inherited trait: her mother came from either three countries or none, a nebulous area that may have been Austria, or Hungary, or Czechoslovakia, and was all of them at one time or another.

 WALKING THE LABYRINTH by Lisa Goldstein
Lisa Goldstein is an author who does not follow the more heavily traveled roads of fantasy, but tends to set off in her own direction, sometimes along a lesser-known path, sometimes blazing her own trail.
Molly travels to England to find out more, where she discovers hidden books, secret relationships, and, in the basement of an English country house, a labyrinth that is more than it first appears.
Goldstein's work has often been called "magical realism," and I guess that description is as accurate as any.
