Description

At the center of You Don't Say are the propositions that the present age of personal liberation has created as many inhibitions as it has abolished; some of our freedoms could be used with a sharper sense of tact; and some freedoms we have lost are worth remembering - or even recovering. The essays that comprise You Don't Say reflect on the use of language, how modern man has claimed to be free of repression though the opposite is true, and how people who object to certain types of language and prefer verbal ambiguity do so possibly to assert their moral dignity and intelligence. The book is full of sharp observations, witty commentary, and empathetic description of the contemporary social and cultural scene.
