The mezzanine
Nicholson Baker, David Ledoux (Narrator)
The seemingly mundane events that occur to a young clerk on his lunch hour are magnified in his mind into complex statements on the modern condition. The story follows the journey of the hero up one flight on the escalator and we learn why straws don't sink in milk cartons; whether the hot air blowers in bathrooms are really more sanitary than towels; the physics of shoelaces; and how the most trivial of objects can lead to the deepest revelations of the human heart
