Satisdiction by A. Shea. One man’s journey into all the words he’ll every need
VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Satisdiction by Ammon Shea. One man’s journey into all the words he’ll every need Summary: The book is a collection of unusual, obscure, and amusing English words, each chosen for its interesting meaning, history, or sound. Ammon Shea explores words that are rarely used in everyday conversation but can precisely describe particular feelings, situations, people, or experiences. Rather than following a traditional storyline, Satisdiction works like a word-lover’s dictionary. Shea introduces readers to vocabulary that can expand how they think about language. Many entries are humorous or surprisingly specific, and he explains their meanings while showing how English has developed such an enormous vocabulary.
