   Extractions: Zach Trenholm N Have you always been drawn to minutiae? Oh, yes. I have that problem. When I was working on perspective in art class, the drawings that I would do would be of the wall socket, but vast and worked out right from wall's eye view, and diminishing. And it is kind of hard to draw the little holes in the plug in perspective, if you're at a very rakish angle. I've always liked to inspect lichens at close range. I don't know what caused that cast of thought. At the same time, I would write in my notebooks about all these ambitions of writing enormous books, huge subjects for novels, but the only time I actually felt pleasure writing was when I had turned the lens a little bit and was focusing on something carefully and was able to revolve it in my mind. It's not automatic, I don't feel as if I'm a description machine cranking myself slowly in one direction, fixing on something, spitting out a description of it, and then moving on to the next thing. What it feels like is that, instead, I have some pressing point I want to make about the coils of a toaster. Next page: Of lumber and other obsessions

Januar in Rochester New York ) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller Nicholson Baker studierte an der Musikhochschule Eastman School of Music in Rochester und am Haverford College . Er lebt heute mit seiner Frau und seinen zwei Kindern in South Berwick Maine . 1997 erhielt er den James Madison Freedom of Information Award In seinem Roman Vox (1992) schildert er den Telefonsex zwischen einem Mann und einer Frau. Das Buch besteht aus einem einzigen langen Dialog und handelt von erotischen Phantasien, die mit einem unbekannten Partner verbal ausgelebt werden. In der Lewinsky-Aff¤re spielte das Buch eine Rolle, weil Lewinsky es angeblich Bill Clinton geschenkt hatte. Der Sonderermittler Kenneth Starr versuchte deswegen eine Verf¼gung gegen zwei Buchhandlungen zu erwirken, die ihre Kundendaten herausgeben sollten. Dies wurde von Baker ¶ffentlich kritisiert. Sein Roman Checkpoint (2004) beschreibt einen geplanten Mordanschlag auf den amtierenden Pr¤sidenten der USA George W. Bush

The following entry presents an overview of Baker's career through 2001. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volume 61. With the publication of his debut novel, The Mezzanine (1988), Baker earned critical appreciation for imbuing the minute trivialities of a modern lunch break with unseen philosophical and personal significance. In subsequent novels, including Room Temperature Vox The Fermata (1994), and The Everlasting Story of Nory (1998), Baker similarly turned his obsessive, microscopic vision to dissections of parenthood, sexual fantasy, and childhood. Baker has also published an idiosyncratic, self-deprecating homage to author John Updike, U and I (1991), for whom Baker harbors a special fascination. During the mid-1990s Baker generated considerable controversy through his condemnation of library policies that dictate the disposal of card catalogs and the wholesale destruction of valuable newspaper collections, as detailed in
