From a New York Times-bestselling and National Book Critics Award-winning author comes a "small masterpiece" of fatherhood, childhood, and bottle-feeding ( Publishers Weekly). In a novel Entertainment Weekly called "intensely funny and moving," Nicholson Baker takes the reader on an intellectual odyssey over the course of the twenty minutes it takes a new father to give his baby daughter her bottle. Through inspired moments of mental flight, Mike's thoughts on his newfound parenthood lead him back to his own childhood and to reflections on the objects of his youth. From glass peanut butter jars to French horns, from typography to courtship, Baker reveals "some of the tenderest, most delicate interaction between husband and wife, adult and infant, in modern fiction" ( Los Angeles Times). "Sparkling... frequently hilarious... This is a big novel unfolding... so subtly that one is scarcely aware of its magnitude until the last page." - The Boston Globe "A delightful book... Every page provokes the shock, or at least the smile, of recognition." - The Washington Post "A major cosmic drama... It is a delightful book... a real charmer, a breath of fresh air, a show-stopping coloratura aria made of the quirks of memory and the quiddities of daily life." - The Sacramento Union "[A] small masterpiece by an extraordinarily gifted... writer." - Publishers Weekly
