BETWEEN YOU & ME REVIEWI love this type of book but get the puckers when I start to review it. The how-tos are here but it’s simply too late to correct my wayward word usage. I’ll just have to make do with my ingrained incompetence. Mary Norris, Comma Queen, please accept my apologies for the errors of my ways. But know that “Between You & Me†is one of the best of the help books I’ve read.Norris is one of those people: a copy editor with all the answers. But she’s not prickly. She knows what to do with grammar and punctuation; passing on her knowledge without snipe or snarl. Her explanations are clever, clear, and sometimes comical. The advice is practical and should be easily assimilated by even the biggest dolt. One doesn’t expect to have fun reading about punctuation, spelling, and usage. But this book is pure entertainment in its counsel with amusement on every page.The author is going to coach you on subjunctives, spoken versus written language, word breaks, compounds, pronoun gender, and other scary elements. Along the way she’ll touch on commas, colons, dashes, hyphens, semicolons, and other punctuation marks that we all know about. Or do we? If you let this frighten you away, you’ll miss some unforgettable examples of how to get it right.It would be a good idea for the censor cops at Amazon to read Chapter 9 with the earthy title of F*CK THIS SH*T. Norris discusses the use of profanity, decries its abolition, and, obliquely, takes a poke at Amazon’s hypercritical policy of bouncing reviews that have even a hint of impropiety. That practice has always been annoying to me. Amazon is a publishing giant that is willing to sell anything—erotica, rap music with explicit lyrics, sexual tools and potions, books with profanity in the title—but will not publish a review that even hints at bad language or contains veiled sexual banter.This is a must-have book for readers and writers. It might not improve your overall grammar and language skills, but it will make you appreciate that there are people out there who would have you to do better, who work hard at making it simple, and who should be listened to with an appreciative ear. Mary Norris. More than just a Comma Queen.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES
I surprised myself by purchasing (and reading) BETWEEN YOU & ME: CONFESSIONS OF A COMMA QUEEN, in which context “comma queen†is defined as a copy editor. Perhaps it was only my love for stringing words together that compelled me to do so. Perhaps I could learn in retrospect something of the mistakes I’ve been making all these years past.In the Introduction, author Mary Norris describes the evolution of her early life that finally deposited her in the niche profession of being a copy editor for “The New Yorker†magazine, a publication that always seemed too effete for my tastes growing up as I did on the West Coast. Mary then launches off on the evolution of dictionaries and their influence on spelling, the reputation of being witches that bedevils copy editors, the political incorrectness (or not) in the use of gender specific pronouns, and the common errors that befall writers in their use of hyphens, dashes, apostrophes, colons, and semicolons. Finally, she closes with perhaps the two most interesting chapters: the growing acceptability of obscenities’ use in everyday speech and writing ‒ especially the F-word, and the evolution of pencils, pencil erasers, and pencil sharpeners.The author closes with an utterly boring (for me) Epilogue on her attendance at a ceremony celebrating the bequest of a million bucks plus to a small town library by a long-serving copy editor of The New Yorker.Did I learn anything? I know now that I’ve probably misused the word “overall†(a one-piece work suit worn by painters) when I should’ve used “over allâ€, i.e. above all. Never again shall I err. Beyond that, I absorbed a statement by novelist James Salter quoted by Norris:“Punctuation is for clarity and emphasis, but I also feel that, if the writing warrants it, punctuation can contribute to the music and rhythm of the sentences. You don’t get permission for this, of course; you take the liberty.â€Yes, indeed. Thank you.
Mary Norris, a copy editor for The New Yorker has written a book, "Between You and Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen" which is a lot about grammar and a bit about her life and her job. I really can't believe that I am writing a review and tempting Ms Norris to judge my woebegone grammar!Ms Norris's book is not a grammar textbook and she's really quite gentle on everyday speaking and writing. She discusses some punctuation that we all use - I really don't think she likes writing with dashes - and gives us examples of the good and the bad. (Let me say right up front that I couldn't write without using dashes and that's my excuse for using them! But I'm not writing for The New Yorker, and thanks god for that.) Ms Norris quotes a note Jacqueline Kennedy wrote to Richard Nixon after her husband's death. The note was dashed off in that breathy style with which she spoke - full of dashes to keep her thoughts somewhat straight. Norris takes the same note and "corrects" it. The result was a grammatical correct message, but one lacking in Mrs Kennedy's distinctive style. Would Richard Nixon want correctness - or heart? I know which one I'd want!Ms Norris's book is great fun to read, while learning some "Ps" and "Qs". There are some swear words in the text; it's not offensive but just surprising. Now, in this review, I've tried to use most of the punctuation she writes about. Let's hope I'm using it correctly!
