- rhetoric
- of
- truth
- and
- power.
- Through
- a
- voyeuristic
- lens,
- it
- focuses
- on
- words:
- what
- we
- say,
- how
- we
- say
- it,
- and
- what
- we
- really
- mean.
- The
- follow-up
- novel
- to
- Natasha
- Brown's
- Assembly
- is
- a
- compellingly
- nasty
- celebration
- of
- the
- spectacular
- force
- of
- language.
- It
- dares
- you
- to
- look away.
