Verb Your Enthusiasm

Hurrah! Let’s brush up on our verbs, people! Sarah Kaufman is the perfect writer for this important subject … Anyone who cares about writing should tickertape this book’s publication.

Like all first-rate writing on language, it’s also a meditation on existence […] an almost shockingly adroit guide to how to make every word count. Writers – fledgling and expert – will find much here that’s practically useful, stimulating, and enlightening; All readers, I think, will benefit from Kaufman’s graceful exhortation to wield language effectively and – in an era of confounding obfuscation – honestly.
