Vox (1992) was a best-selling phone-sex novel-source of the question "What are you wearing?"-and I've produced two other erotic novels: The Fermata, about time-stopping (1994) and House of Holes, about a surreal sex resort (2011). My first novel, The Mezzanine, about a man riding an escalator on his lunch hour, came out in 1988 and has been translated into more than fifteen languages. Some earlier books are The Anthologist (2009), a novel about a poet trying to write an introduction to an anthology of rhyming verse Human Smoke (2008), a bestselling attempt to look at the beginning of World War II in a new way, and U and I (1991), about the vagaries and jealousies of the writing life. Before that came Substitute (2016), about working as a substitute teacher in Maine schools. The most recent one is Baseless: My Search for Secrets in the Ruins of the Freedom of Information Act (2020). I've written seventeen books, plus an art book (The World on Sunday) that I published with my wife Margaret Brentano.
