BAKER, NICHOLSON.

U & I.

New York:, Random House,, 1991., First edition. Hardcover. 0394589947. The third book by the then critically successful but still mostly unknown author, a biography about becoming an author. Obsessive as always, here he obsesses on the influence John Updike has had on him: he picks him because he knows more about him than any living writer (Nabokov enters Baker's thoughts throughout). An unusual, funny and quite unique book, a foretaste in a way for what was to come from Baker: everything from literary smut to award-winning essays. After this book came VOX and substantially larger printings.. Fine in Fine DJ.

NY: Random House, (1991). First Edition. His third book, nonfiction, a personal essay and analysis of the effect that the writings of John Updike have had on the author.

BAKER, NICHOLSON

The anthologist

Simon & Schuster, 2009. Pp: 243. "The Anthologist" is narrated by Paul Chowder - a once-in-a-while-published kind of poet who is writing the introduction to a new anthology of poetry. He's having a hard time getting started because his career is floundering, his girlfriend Roz has recently left him, and he is thinking about the great poets throughout history who have suffered far worse and deserve to feel sorry for themselves. He has also promised to reveal many wonderful secrets and tips and tricks about poetry, and it looks like the introduction will be a little longer than he'd thought. What unfolds is a wholly entertaining and beguiling love story about poetry: from Tennyson, Swinburne, and Yeats to the moderns (Roethke, Bogan, Merwin) to the staff of "The New Yorker," what Paul reveals is astonishing and makes one realize how incredibly important poetry is to our lives. At the same time, Paul barely manages to realize all of this himself, and the result is a tenderly romantic, hilarious, and inspired novel. ISBN: 9781416572442. Cond./Kwaliteit: Nieuw.

NICHOLSON BAKER

A Box of Matches

London, UK: Chatto & Windus, 2003. Not applicable. See notes. 178pp. ISBN: 0701174412. 12mo. «A Box of Matches» reveals Nicholson Baker at his obsessive-compulsive best, with humour and observation to die for, but with underlying truths about the ephemerality of life, the joy of small things, the darkness just the other side of everyday life - all human life in a box of matches. He knows how to get at the real meaning of the "examined life" and it's unmistakably serious - but also side-splittingly funny. This is virtuoso writing, idiosyncratic, brilliant, hilarious and touching. ~~~ Author(s): Nicholson Baker; Binding material: Paper; Binding state: Original binding; Class: Uncorrected proof; Condition: Mint; Edition: Not applicable; Jacket condition: Not applicable; Language: English; Pages: 178; Publication year: 2003; Size: 12mo..
