A collection of unusual words defined and used in context from the
works of myriad authors What do wierd and wonderful words such as
oology and photic (used by the likes of Nabokov and Beckett,
Anthony Burgess and John Fowles) actually mean? In the past you had
to look in the bulkiest, most expensive dictionaries to find out.
Now, in this informative and hugely entertaining book, more than
1,300 fascinating words--erotic, poetic and abusive, from abaxial
to zoophiliac--are clearly defined (with examples from major
writers). If you're in pursuit of fulgent logodaedaly (dazzling
skill with words), you can enrich your incondite (unpolished)
prose. Better still, you'll be able to impress your friends with
your brilliant vocabulary without making a complete balatron of
yourself!
