So begins Nicholson Baker's fuse-blowing sex-positive escapade House of Holes. Baker the bestselling author of The Mezzanine Vox and The Fermata who writes like no one else in America (Newsweek) returns to erotic territory with a gleefully over-the-top novel set in a pleasure resort where normal rules don't apply. Visitors pulled in via their drinking straws or the dryers in laundromats can undergo crotchal transfers . . . make love to trees . . . visit the Groanrooms and the twelve-screen Porndecahedron . . . or pussy-surf the White Lake. It's very expensive of course but there are work-study programs. In charge of day-to-day operations is Lila a former hospital administrator whose breast milk has unusual regenerative properties.Brimful of good-nature wit and surreal sexual vocabulary House of Holes is a modern-day Hieronymous Boschian bacchanal that is sure to surprise amuse and arouse.
