Product Information

Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker 's copy department, maintaining its celebrated high standards. Now she brings her vast experience, good cheer, and finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice. Between You & Me features Norris's laugh-out-loud descriptions of some of the most common and vexing problems in spelling, punctuation, and usage--comma faults, danglers, "who" vs. "whom," "that" vs. "which," compound words, gender-neutral language--and her clear explanations of how to handle them. Down-to-earth and always open-minded, she draws on examples from Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson, Henry James, and the Lord's Prayer, as well as from The Honeymooners , The Simpsons , David Foster Wallace, and Gillian Flynn. She takes us to see a copy of Noah Webster's groundbreaking Blue-Back Speller, on a quest to find out who put the hyphen in Moby-Dick , on a pilgrimage to the world's only pencil-sharpener museum, and inside the hallowed halls of The New Yorker and her work with such celebrated writers as Pauline Kael, Philip Roth, and George Saunders. Readers--and writers--will find in Norris neither a scold nor a softie but a wise and witty new friend in love with language and alive to the glories of its use in America, even in the age of autocorrect and spell-check. As Norris writes, "The dictionary is a wonderful thing, but you can't let it push you around."

Reviews
Down-to-earth memoir interwoven with idiosyncratic, often funny ruminations on the nuts and bolts of language., [Between You & Me] brims with wit, personality -- and commas&8230; Norris' enthusiasm is infectious. She's as passionate about sharp pencils as she is about sharp writing... Delightful., An educational, entertaining narrative... Unforgettable anecdotes... Countless laugh-out-loud passages... A funny book for any serious reader., Mary Norris is the verbal diagnostician I would turn to for a first, second, or third opinion on just about anything., There is so much to be learned from Mary Norris's marvelous memoir: she tells us when to hyphenate a compound noun, shows whether to employ the subjunctive, and elucidates the suggestively named copulative verb. But she is no dry guardian of grammar, no punitive Poobah of punctuation. In giving an account of her journey from provincial obscurity to the glamour of New York--and The New Yorker--she offers a warm, tender, and funny coming of age story. (Or possibly it's a 'coming-of-age' story. Mary could tell you.), For years I thought that, because Mary Norris and I are both from Cleveland, she shared her amazing knowledge of grammar only with me. Now I see she's letting the whole world in on it. I guess that's okay. Her book is so smart and funny and soulful and effortlessly illuminating, and she herself is so generous and great--what else could she do? Still, I wish she'd told me., A delightful discourse on the most common grammar, punctuation, and usage challenges faced by writers of all stripes... Norris writes with wit, sass, and smarts., Ms. Norris, who has a dirty laugh that evokes late nights and Scotch, is...like the worldly aunt who pulls you aside at Thanksgiving and whispers that it is all right to occasionally flout the rules., Thoughtful and humorous... [Between You & Me] is not your grade school primer; expect wisecracks and pointed commentary., Destined to become an instant classic.... It's hard to imagine the reader who would not enjoy spending time with Norris., Mary Norris has an enthusiasm for the proper use of language that's contagious. Her memoir is so engaging, in fact, that it's easy to forget you're learning things., Very funny, lucid, and lively... part memoir, part language guide, and part personal account of life at The New Yorker., [Between You & Me] brims with wit, personality -- and commas... Norris' enthusiasm is infectious. She's as passionate about sharp pencils as she is about sharp writing... Delightful., There is so much to be learned from Mary Norris's marvelous memoir: she tells us when to hyphenate a compound noun, shows whether to employ the subjunctive, and elucidates the suggestively named copulative verb. But she is no dry guardian of grammar, no punitive Poobah of punctuation. In giving an account of her journey from provincial obscurity to the glamour of New York--and the New Yorker--she offers a warm, tender, and funny coming of age story. (Or possibly it's a 'coming-of-age' story. Mary could tell you.), Mary Norris brings a tough-minded, clear-eyed, fine-tuned wisdom to all the perplexities and traps and terrors of the English sentence. Writers who quail under her pencil can now be gratified, or just relieved, as she offers that pencil's point to the world at large., Thoughtful and humorous [Between You & Me is not your grade school primer; expect wisecracks and pointed commentary., Mary Norris brings a tough-minded, clear-eyed, fine-tuned wisdom to all the perplexities and traps and terrors of the English sentence., "[A] funny and entertaining new book about language and life... While Norris may have a job as a "comma queen," readers of Between You & Me will find that "prose goddess" is perhaps a more apt description of this delightful writer."
