About this title: This revised and expanded edition of one of Buechner's best-loved books completes the paperback publication--with Whistling in the Dark and Peculiar Treasures--of his classic lexical trilogy. A "beguiling" (Time) lexicon for the restless believer, the doubter, and all who love words--an innovative and witty look at the language of the human spirit. Illustrations.

"Actually, the first time I read this book, I would have given it 5 stars. The book hasn't changed; I have. When I first read it, Buechner's writing challenged me to think about familiar words in different ways. He still does, but the second time through, his insights no longer catch me by surprise. So - I highly recommend this book for a first reading; after that, just pick and choose when desired."
