chime in nowBy Nicolson Baker (Simon & Schuster, 2011)
From the looks of its inconspicuous cover, it’s hard to tell what this book is about save the fine print that reads (very honestly), “book of raunch.” Baker, author of such previous works as The Fermata and Vox -- the book that Monica Lewinsky gave Bill Clinton which recounts a single, highly inventive phone sex conversation -- is becoming a talked about novelist so you can blame the Book Review for your indulgence in a little…okay, a whole lotta erotica. Some are calling this 262 page romp Baker’s dirtiest work yet (which is funny because the author looks a little like Santa). House of Holes is a series of loosely linked stories set in a sexual theme park where rides include “Masturboats” and characters can visit the “Porndecahedron,” a 12-screen planetarium showing nonstop adult films. And those are just the tame attractions at this twisted “happiest place on earth.” Warning: Guests with heart, neck or back problems should not ride!
