"The Mezzanine" by Nicholson Baker

"The undeniable appeal of "The Mezzanine" is almost impossible to explain to anyone who hasn't read it!. Try it, sometime; tell someone "It's a 150 page book about what a guy thinks about as he goes up the escalator to his office!." Not exactly an easy sell!.
But it's a fantastic read!. This is not just "some guy" who's sharing his interior monologue, it's a guy written by Nicholson Baker!. That means he's funnier than you, smarter than you, and his meandering observations are bound to be entertaining!. His neuroses are interesting, his thought processes bizarre (but no more bizarre than mine or yours)!.

So if the "plot" of the novel is "a guy goes up an escalator and sits down in his office," what is the novel about!? It's about all of the tiny little thoughts that fly through our head, day in and day out!. This is significant because these "unimportant" thoughts are our *lives!.* All of these idle wonderings are what make us human and what makes each person an individual!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
