Reviews

[Florence Wetzel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kurt Gottschalk plunges bravely into that shape-shifting beast known as the sentence, and he emerges with this beautiful book that provides just as many questions as answers, and takes the reader on an intelligent journey through a joyful mix of words that all come to the same inevitable end: the period.
