{"product_id":"the-everlasting-story-of-nory-9780679763758","title":"The Everlasting Story of Nory","description":"Our supreme fabulist of the ordinary now turns his attention on a 9-year-old American girl and produces a novel as enchantingly idiosyncratic as any he has written. Nory Winslow wants to be a dentist or a designer of pop-up books. She likes telling stories and inventing dolls. She has nightmares about teeth, which may explain her career choice. She is going to school in England, where she is mocked for her accent and her friendship with an unpopular girl, and she has made it through the year without crying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNicholson Baker follows Nory as she interacts with her parents and peers, thinks about God and death-watch beetles, and dreams of cows with pointed teeth. In this precocious child he gives us a heroine as canny and as whimsical as Lewis Carroll's Alice and evokes childhood in all its luminous weirdness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicholson Baker has published five novels-\u003cb\u003eThe Mezzanine\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eRoom Temperature\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eVox\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Fermata\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Everlasting Story of Nory\u003c\/b\u003e-and two works of nonfiction, \u003cb\u003eU and I\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Size of Thoughts\u003c\/b\u003e.
