Nicholson Baker, known for his exuberantly
detailed comedies of ordinary life, now turns his attention to the inner
landscape of a nine-year-old American girl who is spending a term at an
English school. She thinks about teeth, tells herself stories, defends
a classmate, has nightmares about cows, and generally does her best to
make sense of life's particulars as she encounters them. The Everlasting
Story of Nory is a funny, captivating, complicated book for grown-ups
about the wisdom and strangeness that can exist in a child's mind. Nicholson
Baker was born in 1957, and lives in Northern California. He is the author
of four novels, a work of non-fiction, and a collection of essays, The
Size of Thoughts, and he writes for The New Yorker and Esquire.
He and his family spent much of last year in Ely, Cambridgeshire.
