Description

New York Times bestselling author Nicholson Baker has assembled a "provocative and entertaining" (The Wall Street Journal) collection of his most original and brilliant pieces from the last fifteen years. From political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, and the manufacture of the Venetian gondola, Nicholson Baker ranges over the map of life to examine what troubles us, what eases our pain, and what brings us joy. The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master.
