Specificatii
Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker's
copy department, maintaining its celebrated high standards. Now she
brings her vast experience, good cheer, and finely sharpened
pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as
full of life as it is of practical advice.Between You & Me features
Norris's laugh-out-loud descriptions of some of the most common and
vexing problems in spelling, punctuation, and usage--comma faults,
danglers, who vs. whom, that vs. which, compound words,
gender-neutral language--and her clear explanations of how to
handle them. Down-to-earth and always open-minded, she draws on
examples from Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson, Henry James, and
the Lord's Prayer, as well as from The Honeymooners, The Simpsons,
David Foster Wallace, and Gillian Flynn. She takes us to see a copy
of Noah Webster's groundbreaking Blue-Back Speller, on a quest to
find out who put the hyphen in Moby-Dick, on a pilgrimage to the
world's only pencil-sharpener museum, and inside the hallowed halls
of The New Yorker and her work with such celebrated writers as
Pauline Kael, Philip Roth, and George Saunders.Readers--and
writers--will find in Norris neither a scold nor a softie but a
wise and witty new friend in love with language and alive to the
glories of its use in America, even in the age of autocorrect and
spell-check. As Norris writes, The dictionary is a wonderful thing,
but you can't let it push you around.
