Detective McNulty applies bite marks to a deceased man's body with a set of dentures in The Wire, illustrating how officialdom deals in falsehood. Dr. Strangelove lovingly describes the "doomsday machine" as free from "human meddling," while it destroys the world, highlighting the absurdity of placing systems above moral considerations.

Novel Style: Ethics and Excess in English Fiction Since the 1960s
ISBN: 9780198766148 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a time of linguistic plainness. This is the age of the tweet and the internet meme; the soundbite, the status, the slogan. Everything reduced to its most basic components. Stripped back. Pared down. Even in the world of literature, where we might hope to find some linguistic luxury, we are flirting with a recessionary mood.

Novel Style is driven by a conviction that elaborate writing opens up unique...
