Synopsis

Nicholson Baker's new novel is the story of Arno Strine, a temporary typist, who has perfected the knack of stopping time in its tracks and taking women's clothes off.

He is hard at work on his autobiography, The Fermata, which proves in the telling to be a very provocative and altogether morally confused piece of work.
