In the excerpt from Nicholson Baker’s novel, The Mezzanine, Baker’s literal tone, but relaxed voiced allows the reader to get inside the mind of the speaker, to be able to really understand what he is thinking. Baker is very precise when he starts to describe the things he’s currently carrying around with him, and also when he describes his surroundings. He compares the way view from the escalator on sunny days, and on dark days. Throughout the excerpt Baker uses a very elegant tone when speaking about everything he is seeing.
