Outspoken New York Times columnist Stanley Fish offers an entertaining, erudite analysis of language and rhetoric inÂ this delightful celebration of the written word. Drawing on a wide range ofÂ great writers, from Philip Roth to Antonin Scalia to Jane Austen and beyond, Fish's How to Write a Sentence is much more than a writing manual-it is a penetrating exploration into the art and craft of sentences.
