An instructive guide to written English by the author of "The Culture of Narcissism", "The True and Only Heaven".
"The late Lasch, college history professor and the author of "The Culture of Narcissism" (1979), among other seminal works, so despaired of his graduate students' writing that he began to compile a list of common compositional errors. This list soon evolved into a full-fledged writing guide. . . . Lasch's wry, distinctive voice is evident throughout."--Joanne Wilkinson, "Booklist"
