From one of America's most beloved and bestselling authors, a wonderfully useful paperback guide to the problems of the English language most commonly encountered by editors and writers. What is the difference between "immanent" and "imminent"? What is the singular form of graffiti? What is the difference between "acute" and "chronic"? What is the former name of "Moldova"? What is the difference between a cardinal number and an ordinal number? One of the English language's most skilled writers answers these and many other questions and guides us all toward precise, mistake-free usage. Covering spelling, capitalization, plurals, hyphens, abbreviations, and foreign names and phrases, Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors will be an indispensable companion for all who care enough about our language not to maul, misuse, or contort it.

Paul wants Sean but settles for Richard. Sean only has eyes for Lauren who pines for absent Victor. Author Bret Easton Ellis trains his gaze on the students at self-consciously bohemian Camden College. He treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and genuine compassion, while exposing the moral vacuum at the center of their lives.
