1 1 y separately published work icon Snippets of Ruth : Ponderings from a Word Watcher Snippets of Truth Ruth Wajnryb , Sydney : Drum Publishing , 2008 Z1563107 2008 selected work column prose In this collection of some of Ruth's best articles, we travel from observations of the American presidency, to notices on the walls of lifts, to the first love of a teenage boy. When language changes, when we misuse it, when we use a word out of context or borrow from an obtuse source, when we accidentally say the opposite of what we mean, Ruth will notice. Packed to the gunwales and awash with funny and poignant observations. (Source: http://www.towerbooks.com.au/pdfs/AIs/Snippets.pdf) Sighted: 28/02.2009
