The Way the World Works by Nicholson Baker
New York Times bestselling author Nicholson Baker has assembled a "provocative and entertaining" (The Wall Street Journal) collection of his most original and brilliant pieces from the last fifteen years.From political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, and the manufacture of the Venetian gondola, Nicholson Baker ranges over the map of life to examine what troubles us, what eases our pain, and what brings us joy. The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master.
Nicholson Baker is the author of nine novels and four nonfiction works, including the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Double Fold and the New York Times Notable Book of the Year House of Holes. The New Yorker, Harper's, and The New York Review of Books have all published his writing. He and his family reside in Maine.
