About this title: Professor Walter Ong's new book explores some of the profound changes in our thought processes, personality and social structures which are the result ...of the development of speech, writing and print. The cumulative impact of the book is dazzling. Read this book. Literature will never be the same again. And neither will you.' Robert Giddings, Tribune This admirably lucid book ...has obvious implications for philosophy, literature, linguistics, sociology, psychology, education, and Biblical studies ...I believe this is the best book Ong has ever published.'N - Thomas J. Farrell, Cross ...

"I loved this book. Initially, I was intimidated by Ong's reputation and I was convinced I would be swimming in a morass of esoteric, dense, unfathomable, theoretical musings. Instead, I found his work very readable and informative. Even though I didn't agree with all of his ideas regarding the movement of societies from oral to written cultures, I still thought his views were compelling. It was a pleasant surprise. I started the book being afraid of the impersonal author known as "Ong," but I finished the book feeling like I had a new Jesuit uncle."
"A book that gives profound insight on how a literate's mind works and what do we miss in our development by skating over oral culture. I can derive interesting implications for my work as therapist from this book, I hope others can too."
