I just bought this book at while reading this wonderful review of it on NPR. Yes, I say while not after reading it, because once I got to this quote, I stopped reading, bought it, and then finished reading the review. The quote that won my purchase:
Just as a student of art must learn how to describe the merits of a painting, aspiring writers must be able to articulate what constitutes a well-crafted sentence.
Then once I read that “he turns to Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsense poem, “Jabberwocky,” to illustrate the importance of sentence structure”, I knew it was a good decision.
