520    Shandee finds a friendly arm at a granite quarry. Ned 
       drops down a hole in a golf course. Luna meets a man made 
       of light bulbs at a tanning parlor. So begins Nicholson 
       Baker?s fuse-blowing, sex-positive escapade, House of 
       Holes.  Baker, the bestselling author of The Mezzanine, 
       Vox, and The Fermata, who ?writes like no one else in 
       America? (Newsweek), returns to erotic territory with a 
       gleefully over-the-top novel set in a pleasure resort, 
       where normal rules don?t apply. Visitors, pulled in via 
       their drinking straws or the dryers in laundromats, can 
       undergo crotchal transfers . . . make love to trees . . . 
       visit the Groanrooms and the twelve-screen Porndecahedron 
       . . . or pussy-surf the White Lake. It?s very expensive, 
       of course, but there are work-study programs. In charge of
       day-to-day operations is Lila, a former hospital 
       administrator whose breast milk has unusual regenerative 
       properties.Brimful of good-nature, wit, and surreal sexual
       vocabulary, House of Holes is a modern-day Hieronymous 
       Boschian bacchanal that is sure to surprise, amuse, and 
       arouse.
