Dreams from the Monster Factory: A Tale of Prison, Redemption and One Woman’s Fight to Restore Justice to All by Sunny Schwartz, with David Boodell Scribner, 204 pp., $24.00

Reviewed by Helen Epstein in a forthcoming issue of The New York Review of Books (Volume 56 Number 9 June 11, 2009).

Here is an excerpt from that review:

By Bryan A. Garner

Foreword by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Bryan Garner has collected over a hundred of his finest essays on writing, language, and style in this substantial anthology. The book includes sections on legal language and lexicography, how to write successfully as a professional, and concludes with chapters on what he calls “bizarreries” –entertaining descriptions of puns, curiosities, vocabulary use, and other hilarious writing escapades. Finally, Garner includes several tributes to great stylists, and concludes with recommendations for making oneself a great writer, grammarian, and stylist”.
