Description

Writing By The Numbers will be the first-ever book about the pleasures of textual analysis: for those 'who love to read or write and have a passing interest in numbers' and for those 'who love numbers and have a passing interest in books.' (In other words: algorithms for book geeks, and metaphors for math geeks.) Spanning from Shakespeare to fan fiction, with pit stops at the Federalist Papers and the steaming, sensual text heap that is romance novels and erotica ('A list of the most frequently used naughty words over time will of course be included'), Ben Blatt's writing is aimed neither at the statistician, nor at the literary scholar. This is a lighthearted, lucid book that uses numbers to inform our understanding of words-to enlighten, to clarify, and, above all, to entertain.
