The Vibrating Wire: Nicholson Baker's Voxand the Art of Analog.
There is a lack of critical understanding of Nicholson Baker's 'phone sex novel' Vox(1992). Chiefly overlooked is the exact function of Vox's complex system of outmoded telecommunications technology, which the novelist uses in order to experiment with erotic possibilities of the human voice.

Understanding the full nature of Baker's analog-directed perspective is essential for unpacking Baker's recurring interest in idiosyncratic sexuality. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Modern Literature is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
