Everlasting Story of Nory

"'Nory' is an experiment in conjuring up a child's world--its joys and quandaries, the textures and tensions of its routines. And, making allowance for a few flatted notes and a late-breaking story line, the experiment succeeds uncannily....Mr. Baker's inner child got him into hot water in 'The Fermata'. But juvenility has its virtues. Curiosity, fascination with language, the penchant for letting a moment expand until time stops while a caterpillar cakewalks across a flagstone--these juvenile virtues make Mr. Baker's books unique. And they get free rein in 'Nory', making this novel more of a piece with his earlier works than is at first apparent."Baker, Nicholson is the author of 'Everlasting Story of Nory' with ISBN 9780679763758 and ISBN 0679763759.
