<div>&ldquo;For language lovers, this book, with all its verbal tangles and wit, is sure to, in its own words, &lsquo;pass mustard&rsquo;&rdquo; (Poets &amp; Writers). Inspired by Daniel Menaker&rsquo;s tenure at the New Yorker, this collection of comical, revelatory errors foraged from the wilds of everyday English comes with commentary by the author, illustrations by Roz Chast, and a foreword from Billy Collins. During his time at the renowned magazine, Menaker happened across a superb spelling mistake: &ldquo;The zebras were grazing on the African svelte.&rdquo; Fascinated by the idea of unintentionally meaningful spelling errors, he began to see that these gaffes&mdash;neither typos nor auto-corrects&mdash;are sometimes more interesting than their straight-laced counterparts. Through examples he has collected over the course of his decades-long career as an editor and writer, he brings us to a new understanding of language&mdash;how it&rsquo;s used, what it means, and what fun it can be. Illustrated by the inimitable Roz Chast, with a foreword by former poet laureate Billy Collins, The African Svelte offers thoughtful and intelligent exit Jesus. With both uniquely happy accidents and familiar fumbles like &ldquo;for all intensive purposes&rdquo; and &ldquo;doggy-dog world,&rdquo; readers delighted by language will find themselves turning the pages with baited breath to discover fresh howlers that have them laughing off their dairy airs. </div>
