1. Slip Of The Tongue
A warm, curious meditation on the living, breathing nature of language, this collection of brief essays blends memoir with cultural observation to explore slang, dialects, etymologies, and family sayings. The narrator wanders through everyday conversations and printed ephemera, collecting phrases and stories that reveal how words shape memory, place, and identity. Playful yet reflective, it celebrates the politics, quirks, and intimate histories embedded in ordinary speech while savoring the joy of paying close attention to the way people talk.
