About the Book
Word lovers unite! In I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like, the author of Oxymoronica and Viva la Repartee brings his attention to the metaphor, perhaps the most versatile tool of a person trying to express a powerful idea. Drawing heavily from literature of all types and styles and from the classic Greeks to the present day, Grothe shows the metaphor in all its might. Drawing examples of metaphor from a wide variety of categories--wit and humor; the human condition; insults and criticism; relationships; love; marriage; sex; politics; sports; and more--this tour of the land of the metaphor is sure to inform and delight.
