  • Aguecheek's Beef, Belch's Hiccup, and Other Gastronomic Interjectionsby Robert Appelbaum

    University of Chicago Press 2008; US$ 18.00

    We didn’t always eat the way we do today, or think and feel about eating as we now do. But we can trace the roots of our own eating culture back to the culinary world of early modern Europe, which invented cutlery, haute cuisine , the weight-loss diet, and much else besides. Aguecheek’s Beef, Belch’s Hiccup tells the story of how early modern Europeans put food into words and words into food, and created an experience all their own. Named after characters in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night , this lively study draws on sources ranging from cookbooks to comic novels, and examines both the highest ideals of culinary culture and its most grotesque, ridiculous and pathetic expressions. Robert Appelbaum paints a vivid picture... more...

Watts packs in plenty of gasp-inducing passages."- Newark Star Ledger "Like it or not, Hugh Hefner has affected all of us, so I treasured learning about how and why in the sober biography."- Chicago Sun Times "This is a fun book.

Playboy is no longer the cultural force it used to be, but it made a stamp on society."- Associated Press "In Steven Watts' exhaustive, illuminating biography Mr. Playboy , Hefner's ideal for living -- marked by his allegiances to Tarzan, Freud, Pepsi-Cola and jazz -- proves to be a kind of gloss on the Protestant... more...

  • The Subversive Copy Editorby Carol Fisher Saller

    University of Chicago Press 2009; US$ 13.00

    Each year writers and editors submit over three thousand grammar and style questions to the Q&A page at The Chicago Manual of Style Online . Some are arcane, some simply hilarious—and one editor, Carol Fisher Saller, reads every single one of them. All too often she notes a classic author-editor standoff, wherein both parties refuse to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling: "This author is giving me a fit." "I wish that I could just DEMAND the use of the serial comma at all times." "My author wants his preface to come at the end of the book. This just seems ridiculous to me. I mean, it’s not a post -face." In The Subversive Copy Editor , Saller casts aside this adversarial view and suggests new strategies... more...
