Baker is viewed widely as a highbrow eroticist. Saltzman engages these fictions as well as Baker's renowned non-fiction to show how his seemingly disparate works derive from and demonstrate an unremitting zeal for explicit detail, descriptive obsessiveness and linguistic virtuosity. In the UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN LITERATURE series.
