This is my 22nd bk. It's conjoined w/ my 21st, the 1st volume. Usually when I 'review' my bks I don't really say that much about them, I don't go to the great lengths that I do w/ many of my reviews of other people's bks. I don't even always give them 5 stars! However, in this case, if I cd give this bk / these bks 25 stars I wd. "Wrjtjng spelled w/ a "q"" is absolutely extraordinary, there's essentially nothing else like it that I know of. It display more ideas than you'd find in a pile of completely burnt Encyclopedia Destructicas. In the past, I've used James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" to set the bar for most complex & original writing. Now, something like 48 yrs after I finished reading the "Wake", I put my own "Wrjtjng spelled w/ a "q"" at the top. IMO, I spent the 55 yrs that went into it well. Here's the table of contents for this 2nd volume:

Many of these works have appeared in other bks & magazines. Chances are, however, that none of the readers of "Wrjtjng" will have ever seen any of those publications. As such, these will all be fresh to you.
As I write in the introduction:
"As will be obvious in this book, I think about language in a very broad sense. For one thing, I write in at least 40 languages, not just English. I don't do this because I speak or read these languages, I do this because I think languages in general are interesting and I try to pursue that interest with an imagination."
One might ask: What languages? I've never listed them before so I'll try to do so here:
