About
Writing comes in grades of quality in the fashion of beer and baseball games-good, better, and best.
With the experience of a lifetime spent writing, James J. Kilpatrick wants to make a few judgment calls. Here, in the great tradition of Theodore Bernstein, Edwin Newman, and William Safire, a master of the art gives us a finely crafted, witty guide to writing well. Intended for laymen and professionals alike, The Writer's Art highlights techniques and examples of good writing-and a section of the book called "My Crotchets and Your Crotchets" comprises more than two hundred personal judgment calls, often controversial, often funny, on word usage.
