BETWEEN YOU & ME Confessions of a Comma Queen

THE NEW YORKER is a highly regarded bastion of creative literary output and stringent linguistic standards, and enthusiastic and exacting copy editor Mary Norris has striven to uphold those standards as a member of the esteemed publication's editorial team for more than 30 years. In this audiobook, Norris shares details of the behind-the-scenes decision making and teamwork at the magazine, as well as her own personal background and preferences--from grammatical choices to the virtues of different types of pencils. Her narration lacks the polish of a professional narrator, which can be a challenging quality for the listener, but she successfully communicates her enthusiasm for attention to detail.
