Title: Redefined Language for Me...
Product review: It was fun to read but around the last hundred pages it just got a bit dense, especially the obscenity trial with the flow of experts. The ideas came too fast, too briefly, too *much*, though this may be an intentional effect, considering the title of the book. I loved the way the disparate ideas all connected to language... the entire book is one huge musing and exploration on language. My favorite fragment is the paraphrase from Nietzche, where language is not simply an expression or a container of thought but thought itself. All this, and a cool plot, too. Byatt is a reader's writer.
