«La Fermata» is the erotic novel by Nicholson Baker, published by Alfaguara in 1995 in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
Arno Strine, a 35-year-old temporary office worker, can stop time with a gesture and move while the world remains frozen. He doesn't use this power to get rich, but to get closer to people and explore his erotic curiosity with a mix of humor and delicacy. The novel weaves desire, intimacy, and time into an adult fantasy.
The English original, «The Fermata», appeared in 1994; the Spanish translation is by Mariano Antolín Rato.
Aimed at adult readers who enjoy erotic narrative, fantastical elements, and literary fiction.
Nicholson Baker is an American novelist and essayist. His fiction generally de-emphasizes narrative in favor of careful description and characterization. His early novels such as The Mezzanine and Room Temperature were distinguished by their minute inspection of his characters' and narrators' stream of consciousness. Out of a total of ten novels, three are erotica: Vox, The Fermata and House of Holes.
