Best Selling Books by Mary Norris

New York Times Bestseller Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal "Hilarious…This book charmed my socks off." —Patricia O’Conner, New York Times Book Review Mary Norris has spent more than three decades working in The New Yorker’s renowned copy department, helping to maintain its celebrated high standards. In Between You & Me, she brings her vast experience with grammar and usage, her good cheer and irreverence, and her finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice.

The Comma Queen returns with a buoyant book about language, love, and the wine-dark sea. In her New York Times bestseller Between You & Me, Mary Norris delighted readers with her irreverent tales of pencils and punctuation in The New Yorker’s celebrated copy department. In Greek to Me, she delivers another wise and funny paean to the art of self-expression, this time filtered through her greatest passion: all things Greek. Greek to Me is a charming account of Norris’s lifelong love affair with words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. Along the way, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in Greece, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris’s memorable encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine—and more than a few Greek men—Greek to Me is the Comma Queen’s fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own.

Mi gran odisea griega es el relato de la historia de amor de Mary Norris con la lengua, la mitología y la cultura griega que arranca con la negativa paterna para poder estudiar latín. ¿Qué hace la gran dama de la corrección del The New Yorker atrapada por esa lengua inmortal y sus dioses? Lo iremos descubriendo a través de su periplo por esta tierra de olivos, tragos de ouzo y mitos, la fascinación por ese alfabeto exótico que ha llegado a nuestros tatuajes, la interpretación de Atenea como un icono feminista, el acercamiento a referencias culturales como los titanes y el descubrimiento de las múltiples huellas que el griego ha dejado en nuestro vocabulario. Un relato lleno de memorables anécdotas que consigue que nos reconozcamos como herederos del mundo clásico.
