On an autumn day, at around three-fifteen in the afternoon, Mike
sits down in the rocking chair to feed his infant daughter, Bug.
The novel that unfolds over the next twenty minutes of Mike's life
is a warmly comic masterpiece of observation, reflection and
digression. Baker brilliantly recreates Mike's roving mind, with
its tangential thoughts about peanut butter and its big questions
about fatherhood, marriage, and love. The result is surprisingly
thrilling to read: funny, linguistically exuberant, tender and
alive to the small mysteries and pleasures of everyday life.
