I'm seeing a lot of kinship between this and Renata Adler's Speedboat. Wonder if Baker's ever read her, or if it's simply a case of convergent evolution.

I've never read a book so local in its terrain--I feel like I could buy a megaphone and lead "Traveling Sprinkler" tours. This is the Planet Fitness parking lot, this is the Margarita's, here's the used book dealer, here's Fort McClary. It's doubly uncanny because one effect of reading all of Baker's work is that you start to see things from his vantage point. Everything's getting twice-Bakerized for me.
