Book jacket.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=614525 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=661808 Countless readers have begun Finnegans Wake - James Joyces masterwork, on which he labored for a third of his life - only to give up after a few pages and dismiss this great work as a perverse triumph of the unintelligible. Indeed, when it was first published in 1939, the book was met largely with indifference, as readers and critics asked, Why bother with a book thats so hard to read? Five years later, in 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with novelist and poet Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelous world of Finnegans Wake. Few early readers found themselves able to work out the mythical and literary allusions that Joyce drew on in Finnegans Wake, but for Campbell it all made sense. Referring to the years he spent in a cabin during the Depression reading book after book of the Western and Eastern Canons, Campbell explained, Everything that Joyce was writing about came straight out of what Id been immersing myself in during those five years in the wilderness. Page by page, chapter by chapter, A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake outlines the basic action of Joyces book, simplifies and clarifies the complex web of images and allusions, and provides an understandable, continuous narrative from which the reader can venture out on his or her own.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=466158 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=486941 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=328243 Whether youre editing your own writing or someone elses, you will find Lapsing Into a Comma an invaluable and entertaining resource. Part commentary, part stylebook, it addresses not only the usual usage topics (split infinitives, that vs. which and a historic vs. an historic) but also some issues too new or obscure to be found in the traditional manuals (e-mail vs. email, how to tell a playmate from a Playboy Bunny and why a right hook is a bad example of a punch). In an opinionated, humorous and, yes, curmudgeonly way, Bill Walsh of the Washington Post strikes an often unpredictable balance between the traditional and the progressive in examining the state of American English usage in the computer age.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=209798 Mix Red Barber, the White House, and a touch of the blues, and you have America A To Z, a colorful portrait of our nation. Like many a Norman Rockwell painting, it captures what is familiar and what is best about America. Hot dogs and hot rods. Big bands and baseball. Oreos and the Oregon Trail. Remember the Alamo? How about the Automat...the Merrimac...Jack Kerouac? This book has the dish on dishwashers, the skinny on dieting, and the scoop on ice cream. Its got the word on Walter Winchell and Walt Whitman, all the info on RFD, UFOs, VCRs, and M&Ms. Heres a parade of fun facts, famous faces, and historic milestones that leads straight down memory lane. Whether you grew up with soda fountains or Silly Putty, Milton Berle or the Brady Bunch, its a nostalgic trip youll want to take again and again.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=93475 When he died in 1910, Mark Twain left behind more than a legacy of timeless novels and essays. He also bequeathed a wealth of useful - and funny - opinions on style, literary habits, and the writers role in society. Nearly a century later, Twains thoughts still provide information and inspiration for the novelist, essayist, public speaker, or armchair aficionado of the English language. Compiled by veteran Twain enthusiast Mark Dawidziak, Mark My Words offers tips from Twain as true today as when he wrote them. Here youll find the famous essay Fenimore Coopers Literary Offenses, as delightfully malicious as it is instructive, as well as tips for the perfect speech (you must take at least three weeks to write an impromptu speech), the perfect book for children (it must interest not only boys but any man who has ever been a boy) - even the perfect editor (its best to edit while awake).--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=159197 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=295685 Meant to be used while reading Joyces work, James Joyce A to Z is written primarily for the reader first encountering Joyce, but will be of great use even to scholars. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=654872
