Nicholson Baker is a novelistic master who captures the beauty of everyday existence in books that often feel more like conversations with friends than literature. His books take mundane topics and imbue them with an insight into the human condition. From his acclaimed debut, The Mezzanine, to his most recent work, Baseless: My Search for Secrets in the Ruins of the Freedom of Information Act, Baker has shown an incredible power to dive into even the "simplest" subjects and uncover brightness that often echoes right off of the pages. His books are sometimes minimalistic in their approach, sometimes complex and multifaceted, but never fail to be thought provoking in a truly unique way.
