Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Baker has written a novel that remaps the territory of sex--solitary and telephonic, lyrical and profane, comfortable and dangerous. Written in the form of a phone conversation between two strangers, Vox is an erotic classic that places the author in the very first rank of America's major writers. Reading tour.

This is a quick little read-just over 40,000 words-about a man and a woman having phone sex. I've always borne the prejudice that nothing could be less interesting than phone sex, particularly somebody else's phone sex. And yet, here we have two people who stray from the topic at hand (so to speak)and from behind the cloak of anonymity, let fly some marvelously revealing fragments of everyday life.
Baker has the man say at one point 'an orgasm in a complicated mind is always more interesting than one in a simple mind'. Aside from the acknowledgment that orgasms happen in the mind, this is a wonderful moment. It's one of the many points in this little book when two people take quiet note of each other's humanity. Read this alongside Philip Roth's Deception-a book that's structurally identical and worlds away in spirit.

I was constantly asking myself if I was more blown over by the characters or the genius of the author's creativity. Imagine a man that indiscriminately worships the idea of women masturbating. That's hott! Or who considers himself a spokesperson for women freely expressing their sexuality. Still hott. This is a one chapter book about phone sex, but phone sex with debth. The characters and plot are great, but to witness the author's creativity, is even better. Enjoy.

Loved this book. It's an enjoyably quick read of neurotic erotica that reminds me of a Douglas Coupland novel. It's funny, smart, and effortlessly unpretentious. Very cleverly crafted. Plus, it turns you on.
The plot involves a man and a woman in their late twenties who strike up a conversation on an adult partyline. They're drawn to each other's voices. Their neuroses are a perfect match. The conversation builds like sex builds. It's imaginative, funny, honest, revealing, shocking, innocent, jaded and sweet. There are laugh-out-loud moments that keep you reading. Then, in the last 30 pages, the masturbatory climax is realized, and we feel satisfied with the ending.

A whole book filled with one particular phone conversation between a man and a woman. They begin as strangers and by the end of that one phone call they get to know each other better. They like each other's voice so much that they might even meet one day. Until then, they would be satisfied with talking on the phone. When they initiate the call they have the same goal in mind. They obtain it at the end but the journey in reaching it takes a lot of work told in stories. The idea for the story is amazing. The stories told during their chat are diverse. A short work that could be finished under three hours where there is nothing to think about except read.
