About This Item
San Francisco: Permeable Press, 1996. 1st Printing. Trade paperback. Shelf and handling wear, small creases to the cover. Very Good. 63pp. Using the Marquis de Sade's writings as example sentences, Derek Pell gives grammar advice such as, "In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last. Thus write, 'young girls enticed into a life of debauchery, children abandoned, wives humiliated, and several suicides.'" A glossary includes sadistic definitions for such terms as "bugger," "to beat about the bush," "virtuous," and "enormity." Not only is this book consistently funny, it actually offers some decent advice for budding writers.
