Description

Never Let a Fool KISS You Chiasmus and a World of Quotations That Say What They Mean and Mean What They Say

What do Mae West John F. Kennedy Victor Hugo and H. L. Mencken have in common? They all indulged in chiasmus-a literary device in which word order is reversed to hilarious or poignant effect. When Mae West said It's not the men in my life it's the life in my men she was using chiasmus; when John F. Kennedy said Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country he was doing the same. Dr. Mardy Grothe has compiled hundreds of examples of chiasmus in this whimsically illustrated collection bringing this witty and thought-provoking device out of obscurity and into the public imagination.
