Synopsis
Harvard-educated Georgian humorist and essayist George Blount Jr. savors the English language's most delicious tidbits in ALPHABET JUICE, a book that blends lexicography with yarn-spinning. Though his interests and intellectual tangents are wide-ranging, Blount's book has a basic over-arching philosophy: that the best words have a rich connection between meaning and sound--for example, "swoon," "goulash," or "sphincter."
