Summary:
"Subject/verb/object is a word game that grew from a need to process feelings of anger. The game has no beginning, no end, and no way to win. The turning, fitting, and order of words can lead to clarity or confusion. The reader plays with language and considers some of the options about what we all want, need, and have. The concept behind the book stems from the frustration and anger I feel towards art criticism and other academic writing. The language and structure towards art criticism and other academic writing. The language and structure used by most members of that academy is intended to exclude people and not meant to clarify the subject for a reader. This is the opposite of what it should be and I find that confusing and dishonest"--Ellen Knudson.
