Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. [12], 228 pages. Notes. Appendix: Some Books I have Found Particularly Helpful. Index. Mary Norris (born February 7, 1952) is an American author, writer and copy editor for The New Yorker. She graduated from Rutgers University in 1974 and earned a master's de…gree in English from the University of Vermont. Norris joined the editorial staff at The New Yorker in 1978. She has been a query proofreader at the magazine since 1993. She has also been a contributor to "The Talk of the Town" and The New Yorker website. Her first book, Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, was published by W. W. Norton & Co. in 2015. Norris was a finalist in the 2016 Thurber Prize for American Humor for Between You & Me. She gave a TED talk at TED2016 on the same topic. Her second book, Greek to Me Adventures of a Comma Queen (2019), explores her relation to foreign languages, particularly to classical Greek. The most irreverent and helpful book on language since the #1 New York Times bestseller Eats, Shoots & Leaves. 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." Derived from a Kirkus review: Norris provides an educational, entertaining narrative about grammar, spelling and punctuation. The author devotes chapters to commas (who knew a printer more or less invented comma usage in 1490?); apostrophes; hyphens; the difference between "that" and "which"; the proper usage of "who" and "whom"; dealing with profanity in a national magazine (a chapter in which Norris demonstrates that not all copy editors are prudish); which dictionary to rely on; and, as a bonus, an ode to pencils with and without erasers. The possibility of an editing job at the New Yorker arose only because Norris' brother knew an important person there. Once at the New Yorker, the author engaged in spirited debates with more senior copy editors about all manner of decisions about grammar, punctuation and spelling. Though she observed the rules, she also began to realize that sometimes she had to compromise due to the fact that accomplished writers for the magazine followed their own logic. Norris delivers a host of unforgettable anecdotes about such famed New Yorker writers as Philip Roth, Pauline Kael, John McPhee and George Saunders. In countless laugh-out-loud passages, Norris displays her admirable flexibility in bending rules when necessary. She even makes her serious quest to uncover the reason for the hyphen in the title of the classic novel Moby-Dick downright hilarious. A funny book for any serious reader.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. 1st Edition. The format is approximately 6 inches by 8.5 inches.[12], 227, [1] pages. Appendix: The Greek Alphabet. Inscription from the author on the title page reads For Mapia Nightingale Pleasure to meet you in Bethesda! Mary Norris, June 25, 2020. Mary No…rris (born February 7, 1952) is an American author, writer and copy editor for The New Yorker. Norris joined the editorial staff at The New Yorker in 1978. She has been a query proofreader at the magazine since 1993. She has also been a contributor to "The Talk of the Town" and The New Yorker online presence. Her first book, Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, was published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2015. Norris was a finalist in the 2016 Thurber Prize for American Humor for Between You & Me. Her second book, Greek to Me - Adventures of a Comma Queen (2019), explores her relation to foreign languages, particularly to classical Greek. The Comma Queen returns with a buoyant book about language, love, and the wine-dark sea. In her New York Times bestseller Between You & Me, Mary Norris delighted readers with her irreverent tales of pencils and punctuation in The New Yorker's celebrated copy department. In Greek to Me, she delivers another wise and funny paean to the art of self-expression, this time filtered through her greatest passion: all things Greek. Greek to Me is a charming account of Norris's lifelong love affair with words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. Along the way, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in Greece, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris's memorable encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine and more than a few Greek men Greek to Me is the Comma Queen's fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Josef Astor (Author photograph) and Nick Misani (J (illustratore). Signed.

".Already, Vogue had observed the emotional response to Geoffrey Beene presentations: Women cry at his shows. But Beene continued to experiment with the format each season. In 1992, Beene began to cast dancers from the Scho…ol of American Ballet to animate his clothing on the runway and in print advertisements. He collaborated with filmmakers and designers from the dance world to infuse his work with a fresh, often unpredictable angle. New York Magazine celebrated Beene s Fall 1995 presentation as one of that season s best: There is one Picasso; there is one Astaire; there is one Beene. It is a truism that his clothes move but watching a column dress dance across the stage is to re-see fashion as art, not mere commerce. PVH Archives.
