	VOX Review (Time, February 3, 1992)
		Vox is not a voyage into the deep time of interior thought but a story that takes place in the time it takes to read it.
		Vox’s 165 pages consist of a single telephone conversation between a man and a woman, strangers who have both called an adult party line and then decided to have a private conversation.
		Vox, by contrast, is the ultimate in ‘90s safe sex: voices, not hands, caress each other as Baker teases out a rambling romp of a conversation followed by simultaneous masturbatory climaxes between partners thousands of miles away.

	Nicholson Baker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The novel created the genre for which Baker is best known and is perhaps its boldest representative.
		Mike's thoughts wander as he contemplates, for example, the possibility of admitting to one's wife that one has been picking one's nose (body functions are discussed extensively, perhaps prompted by the baby's presence) or the juxtaposition of Debussy and Skippy peanut butter jars in a symphonic poem.
		Vox: A Novel (1992) covers an episode of phone sex between two young single people.

		The novel concerns four Japanese women who work at the night shift at the factory, and deal (or avoid dealing) with their own issues of loneliness and alienation from their families and society at large.
		The novel centers on the murder of a university professor and former Red Guard, who had been labeled as a discident writer for writing a book denouncing the death of her former lover at the hands of the Cultural Revolution.
		Then, prettending to be that friend whose personality she probably took over as soon as she left her house, she wrote to him and sent him on that chase for family secrets which would end up with her pretending to be a ghost and frightening him almost to death.

		In telecommunication, a vox (short for 'voice operated switch') is an acoustoelectric transducer and a keying relay connected so that the keying relay is actuated when sound, or voice, energy above a certain threshold is sensed by the transducer.
		Note: A vox is used to eliminate the need for push-to-talk operation of a transmitter by using voice energy to turn on the transmitter.

	Double Mischief - Katya Loney’s Blog on Vox
		I love to read, and anything I'm researching for a story or novel is obviously something I'm reasonably interested in or else I wouldn't be writing about that subject, so sometimes it's tough to let go and move on to the actual writing part of writing.
		This past weekend I went to a writers' conference and had an incredibly ego-boosting experience: an editor for a big New York publishing house introduced herself, explained that she was familiar with my online fiction, and gave me her business card.
		We talked for quite a while about everything from books to the publishing industry to mutual friends, and I took the opportunity to pitch a couple of ideas for novels, both of which she encouraged me to write and submit to her.

		At his best in the novel, Wolfe describes Charlotte surrendering to temptation and engaging in painful sex with a senior fraternity man, Hoyt, who humiliatingly dumps her afterwards.
		While the men in Wolfe’s novel are characterized in lustful terms during sex, the women are doing it for pragmatic reasons.
		The novel ends with Charlotte in a relationship with a popular basketball player whom she remakes into a monogamous, respectful, studious man with ambitions beyond the court and who, by being her devoted boyfriend, raises her status to boot.

		This novel scales higher dimensions because Kambar here delves deep into an Indian tragedy of all times: Men and women trying to revolt and running continuously to escape from the very vortex of it unknowingly.
		A gothic novel of magnificent proportions -- full of intrigue, intricacies, strange obsessions and impulsive desires -- it is the story of Singari, a beautiful, gentle but courageous and strong girl.
		In this novel, as fast-paced as a present-day thriller, Dr Kambar uses the age-old storyteller's craft and has Sheeningi, Singarevva's faithful maid, an eyewitness to all the events, narrating the story that has love and hatred for all reasons and seasons...

	Borzoi Reader \| Catalog
		The bestselling author of Vox and The Fermata devotes his hyperdriven curiosity and magnificently baroque prose to the fossils of punctuation and the lexicography of smut, delivering to readers a provocative and often hilarious celebration of the neglected aspects of our experience.
		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 first rank of America's major writers.

	Vox Popoli: July 2004
		I thought this review was particularly timely, coming as it does on top of the WND article discussing the intriguing possibility that the speed of light is declining and the recent discussion here on the Anthropic Principle, (which, as always, devolved into a discussion of evolution).
		The worst flaw in the novel (if one does not consider the title and premise to be heinous blasphemies, that is), is a crappy, bigoted, unnecessary subplot.
		This is probably necessary though, as the novel could have otherwise gone off on an overly realistic tangent, like the first five or so chapters of any novel written by an astronomer, and ended up a third longer.

	Electrolite: New heights of prestige for the Nebula Award.
		Vox, I find it interesting that you are so focused on a question that has nothing to do with the merits of the works themselves.
		If Vox allows that women are capable of understanding the physics of Hard SF as readers, it's difficult to see how they would not be able to grasp the physics as writers.
		Vox, the least you could do is have the backbone to own your opinions, instead of backpedalling and pretending you meant something you clearly did not.

		Vox though, well it sounds as if it should be good, two lonely and randy people get talking on a phone chat room and then transfer their ever more intertwined erotic wordplay to a one on one conversation.
		You understand from the off that the novel will build to a literal climax so it's just a question of whether all the bits along the way do it for you as well.
		Vox is a good idea, and at 160 pages of large fonts and generous line spacing won't take up much of your precious time whether it stimulates you or leaves you unmoved.

		At one point during the course of the novel, Ezinma is telling a story to her mother when halfway through, the priestess of Agbala says that Agbala wants to see her and takes her.

	Powells.com Interviews - Nicholson Baker
		With his latest novel, The Everlasting Story of Nory, Baker continues to expand his literary turf, focusing his unique, digressive style on a precocious nine year old girl.
		Though obviously you didn't write it in a sitting, the whole novel is one extended conversation.
		It's similar to Vox in that the characters made up words - they were trying to come up with a new language for a very familiar subject - and in this one too I was interested in the neologisms and oddities of language that the character had.

	Time Machine Project Stax Report
		It is an updating of both H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel and the 1960 MGM film adaptation directed by George Pal and scripted by David Duncan.
		Vox is meant to be Alex's sidekick of sorts and the comic relief, as well as providing exposition.
		Another theme found in the Pal film and the Wells novel is the notion of a man playing God, of a scientist attempting to manipulate the natural order of things and learning the error of his ways.

	Assassination Porn - Nicholson Baker's irate new novel. By Timothy Noah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In 1992, Nicholson Baker became a household name with the publication of Vox, a slender erotic novel structured as a conversation between two people engaged in phone sex.
		The explicitness of the fantasies that Vox's two unnamed characters swapped and the bare-bones narrative progression from salutation to mutual orgasm (the latter occurring a mere two pages before the end) provoked some discussion about whether Vox was simply high-end pornography.
		It isn't clear that Jay represents much of a threat, since his most prized weapons turn out to be "radio-controlled flying saws," a giant boulder made of depleted uranium ("You're going to squash the president?" Ben asks), and "homing bullets," which Jay programs by "marinating" them in a box with a photograph of President Bush.

		Suffice it to say, the two nights spent in various sorts of debauchery after completing the first draft of the shit were totally wasted, because absolutely nothing is finished.
		Novels are harder to write than English papers, damn it all.

	[No title]
		Baker's novel is a single conversation between a man and a woman who call an adult party line and, separated by anonymity and thousands of miles, offer each other intimate details of their sexual fantasies.
		It is the singularly pleasurable act of masturbation that accrues value in Baker's novel; most of the narrative comes to us, to borrow a phrase from the book, in a creditable state of engorgement.
		The dangerous supplement that marks Vox as a lack is that which never crops up in the elegantly sexy conversation between Jim and Abby: the labor of making real relationships work, homophobia, death, lack of funds for AIDS research and health care, the unhealed pain of estrangement and broken homes.
