4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and vital, March 8, 2007

By	Ashley Brown (China) - See all my reviews

As a newcomer to Salt Publishing, I'm amazed at the quality of this book. The author is obviously well educated and travelled, and with this book has stripped many cultres, people and places down to their fundamental basics with a verbal potency I haven't read in a long time. These writings reminded me of just how powerful and vital the English language can be. Great stuff.
