The book review i in my blog, please visit to read. https://polymathtobe.blogspot.com/2020/07/book-review-quack-this-way-conversatio... Essential for fans of Bryan Garner and near-essential for fans of David Wallace, Quack This Way is a short but fascinating transcript of a dialog about language and usage between two of the best modern practitioners. Gardner and Wallace became friendly after Wallace's essay "Tense Present," an extended essay and review of Gardner's Modern American Usage, was published in the Atlantic. Wallace's views on English and on the teaching of English to young writers, although expressed off the cuff, are cogent and worthy of study. Gardner's introduction to this volume is a poignant history of their correspondence and friendship. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Two friends, both of them vocational snoots, sat down to film an interview in February 2006. Their subjects: language and writing. The interviewee drove more than an hour, from Claremont to downtown Los Angeles. The interviewer flew from Dallas. They spoke on film for 67 minutes and then walked uphill to a nearby seafood restaurant, where they continued the running conversation they had started five years earlier. They liked each other, and they seemed to understand each other. The rest is history. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

It's rare to see Garner's Modern English Usage mentioned. It's essential. ( )
