Reviews

'Only in learning from Farina himself have I become more sensitized to the luminosity that inheres in the vernacular. Indeed, if we follow Farina along his chosen, if surprising path, we will enjoy the rewards of discovery - about character, the novel, and realism, about written worlds and the social existences we all inhabit. ... Everyday Words has sharpened my awareness of how we use language with one another, even in my own everyday life.' Barabara Black, Review 19 'Only in learning from Farina himself have I become more sensitized to the luminosity that inheres in the vernacular.
