Seller's Description:
Good jacket. New York. 1980. Dial Press. 1st Printing. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0803717776. 246 pages. hardcover. Jacket Design by Judith K. Leeds. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION-One almost hesitates to call this fascinating and richly comic novel a mystery, yet it is. There is murder, and a mystery is solved, but within these conventional boundaries the terrain is filled with wildness-bizarre killings in an ivory tower think-tank on the Wabash, where colleagues who can barely stand the sight of one another study the linguistic patterns of children. The first victim is a man who makes a fetish of cultivating enemies. The prime suspect is an iconoclastic linguist named Jeremy Cook, whose efforts to clear himself bring him into conflict with shrewd Lieutenant Leaf. To catch the murderer, Jeremy Cook must decipher a constantly changing language, a tongue known to everyone but remembered by no one, a riddle language in which it is impossible tO lie-baby talk. DOUBLE NEGATIVE is a novel of inflection as well as detection, and one of the most entertaining of the year. inventory #2001.
