This title offers an essay on style. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between ones reals and ones declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as keeping out of politics. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.
