Baker has written a novel that remaps the territory of sex--solitary and telephonic, lyrical and profane, comfortable and dangerous. Written in the form of a phone conversation between two strangers, Vox is an erotic classic that places the author in the first rank of America's major writers.

What did you love best about Vox?

The story is fun in its form already--and it screamed out to be read by a duet of readers because it needed both voices to bring it to life.

What about Mark Boyett and Gabra Zackman ’s performance did you like?

They were sensual without going over the top; it's easy to go over the top with Baker and they kept the story inside the conversation. Impressive.

If you could rename Vox, what would you call it?

I wouldn't--but I'm a writer and I trust other writers in the choices they make.

Boyett and Zackman Make this Incredibly REAL

I read this book along with a few other books by Baker in college and I was excited to revisit it on audio. I remember how I liked it for its taboo theme when I was younger and I still like the concept. However, the book is a little out of date (with the age of the Internet and cell phones), but still interesting. I am unsure about the performance of Mr. Boyett and Ms. Zackman, but I got used to their style by the end. Not my favorite performance so far, but still worth checking out. Be warned: This s a very adult-themed book.

Good, but...

Gabra has the most amazing voice, she narrates with a subtlety and precision unlike any other. Mr. Boyett is also an amazing narrator. I don't usually like male voices in these kinds of stories but he did a great job. Very sensual story. Hit the spot ;)

Great story, great performance.
