NICHOLSON BAKER - The American writer’s THE FERMATA is a wet dream taken to extremes, as his everyman character finds he can freeze time and indulges his new skills in undressing unwitting women and more as he surveys the world around him. Joyfully witty and beautifully literate, this is a fable that will, I believe, resonate deeply in most male readers libido. It is also extremely funny and beautifully written.
