The Paul Chowder Chronicles: The Anthologist and Traveling

The Paul Chowder Chronicles: The Anthologist and Traveling Sprinkler, Two Novels

TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME, BOTH OF NICHOLSON BAKERâ‚¬S BRILLIANT NOVELS FEATURING BELOVED HERO AND POET PAUL CHOWDER
Â
A New York Times notable book and a national bestseller, Nicholson Bakerâ‚¬s The Anthologist introduces his quirkiest and most unforgettable protagonist yet, the â‚¬Å“erudite, unpretentious, and often hilariousâ‚¬Â (The New Yorker) Paul Chowder.

Chowder really needs to write an introduction to his new anthology of verse, Only Rhymeâ‚¬"itâ‚¬s the first work his editor has sent him in monthsâ‚¬"but heâ‚¬s having a hard time getting started. Not only is his career floundering, but his girlfriend, Roz, just moved out. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chowder canâ‚¬t keep his mind from drifting to the sufferings of the great poets, from Tennyson and Yeats to Roethke, Merwin, to every poet whoâ‚¬s been published in The New Yorker. As he ponders the strange power and musicality of language, and adjusts to his newly single life, Chowderâ‚¬s introduction slowly but surely begins to take shape.

A wholly entertaining and beguiling love story, and the first novel in the chronicles of Paul Chowderâ‚¬"which is followed by Traveling Sprinkler in this same volumeâ‚¬"The Anthologist is â‚¬Å“a loving and superbly witty homage to poetryand to lifeâ‚¬Â (The Boston Globe).
