Description
With a title drawn from the work of TH Parry Williams – a master of the 20th-century essay form, on whom Price has written extensively – the subtlety and capaciousness of these writings reveal Price a successor as much as a researcher of his extraordinary talents. With subjects ranging from phonetics to cakes, from cleaning to Karl Marx, it is Price’ s gift for sensitive, intelligent scrutiny that holds the volume together, her capacity to expand the meaning of the seemingly smallest mundanity.
