He delights in word play, especially exploring the meanings and contradictions, and evolution, of oxymorons. A quirky point of view wedded to a poet's ear for language. Mesmerizing.
Sounds good. I just had a sample sent to my Kindle. The "sample" consists entirely of the title and the table of contents.
