Haphazard in its treatment, but somehow more effective that way. A prelude to many things that Macrorie would try to address in his more formally designed texts like TELLING WRITING. Fans of HOW CHILDREN FAIL and DEATH AT AN EARLY AGE are encouraged to dig this up.

If you teach college, this is a valuable read. It reminds--with passionate touch--why we do what we do. Well worth the read--several times.
