Vox is the story of two voices, his and hers: two strangers who, having met on a telephone chat-line, find it impossible to hang up.
There are many things - many intimate things - to talk about. Not jobs or old lovers or favourite films (nothing that could be described as the normal stuff of a normal conversation) but only, exclusively, the stuff that a normal conversation never allows. What people think about when they are alone in the dark confines of their bed (or, for that matter, in the brightly lit photocopy room of a deserted office). Or the moments - reading a book, watching a video, taking a shower - when the mind wanders and cannot be stopped...
These voices - his and hers, these strangers brought together by the anonymous workings of a transcontinental communications technology - are young and self-aware and relentless in their determination to discuss everything. Their subject matter is the physical and the erotic, fantasies of the most private kind. But are their fantasies really all that fantastic?
What kind of novel is Vox? Literate and contemporary and intensely erotic. It is the most dangerous book about safe sex you'll find. It is certain to be a classic of bed-side reading.
