Negative Positive
Title: thought provoking
Review: Think you know what "style" is in writing? This book looks at every angle till you are humbled. Style is ... voice...rhythm..."the man"...conjunction of speech and written word...a response... Hemingway said his awkwardness in writing was called his style. Yagoda's book is an intelligent and erudite look at style, and raises questions rather than hammers down an answer. It's like the blind men touching the elephant and describing ("limning") what they feel. Based on this book, I've ordered Cyril Connelly's "Enemies of Promise."
