The Fermata (Vintage Contemporaries) - Softcover
Having turned phone sex into the subject of an astonishing national bestseller in Vox, Baker now outdoes himself with an outrageously arousing, acrobatically stylish "X-rated sci-fi fantasy that leaves Vox seeming more like mere fiber-optic foreplay" (Seattle Times). "Sparkling".--San Francisco Chronicle.

Review:
"Lots of nakedness, quite a few surprises. His novels have the brazen, daring timidity of love letters you know you'll never post" (Sunday Times)
"The book is bursting with sex and beauty, wound together profoundly and pornographically. It is bountifully Rabelasisan and intensely refined. I have never read anything quite like it. Misogynists will definitely not like The Fermata; there is not one iota of violence towards or contempt for women in this book. Wildly exhilarating and confirming. The Fermata should be celebrated" (Mary Gaitskill)
"Witty, dry and thought-provoking, a great addition to Baker's unique observatory of contemporary life" (Vogue)
