Flanders moves from a discussion of language in the classical world all the way to the 21st century, with hypertext and other breakthroughs in language acquisition and absorption. The author creates a fitting structure for the book, proceeding from “A Is for Antiquity” to “Y Is for Y2K” (not every letter gets its own chapter).

" Winning, cheeky, and illuminating.What appears initially as a folly with a look-at-this cover and title becomes, thanks to Radke's intelligence and curiosity, something much meatier, entertaining, and wise." - The Washington Post "Lively and thorough, Butts is the best kind of nonfiction." - Esquire, Best Books of 2022 So Far A "carefully researched and reported work of cultural history" ( The New York Times ) that explores how one body part has come to mean so much-now one of the most anticipated books of 2022.
