«El antólogo» is the contemporary fiction novel by Nicholson Baker, published by Duomo Ediciones in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Paul Chowder, a middle-aged poet of modest success, must write the introduction to an anthology of poetry, but creative block overcomes him: he gets distracted by the sound of birds or the beauty of his broom and makes no progress on his editor's commission. While his dog Smacko awaits a bath that only his ex-girlfriend Roz knows how to give him, Paul muses on simple things and discovers that poetry allows him to be who he is.
This novel opens the series The Paul Chowder Chronicles.
For readers of literary fiction with poetic sensibility and a sense of humour, within the Nefelibata collection from Duomo, dedicated to quality narrative.
Nicholson Baker is an American novelist and essayist. His fiction generally de-emphasizes narrative in favor of careful description and characterization. His early novels such as The Mezzanine and Room Temperature were distinguished by their minute inspection of his characters' and narrators' stream of consciousness. Out of a total of ten novels, three are erotica: Vox, The Fermata and House of Holes.
