Humour

This mysterious form of wordplay known as the palindromein which a group of phrases can be read both forwards and backwardshas bewitched and beguiled readers for centuries and, due to its mirrored, dualistic quality, was at one point considered to have magical powers. Now, in the hands of palindrome master William Irvine, combined with these witty and exquisitely drawn illustrations by Steven Guarnaccia, the result is a delightful mix of literary and absurdist humor. In the spirit of Edward Gorey, Do Geese See God? will appeal to all lovers of wordplay, codes, puzzles, anagrams, crossword puzzles, and linguistic brainteasers.

Reviews for Do Geese See God?: a Palindrome Anthology

""I hate this kind of thing. I wish I didn't, but I do. Frankly, I'm jealous."" Gordon Lish ""Guarnaccia's intelligent, comic drawings alter the reading and savoring of palindromes into an altogether new, visual experience - wise, pointed and funny."" Edward Koren ""Yay!, Wow!, Ah ha! Oh, ho! Hey, yeh!, Yo boy!, Har-har! Rah-rah!, Hoorah! Har! Ooh! Ahem! It's time. Ha!"" Richard Lederer, author, Anguished English
