Produktbeschreibung
Every Syllable Begins a Universe alludes to the many-worlds quantum science claim that every action forks off into its own alternate dimension of spacetime, and to the Hindu belief in a reality-generating mantra. These ideas inform an expansive outlook on human speech and writing in which every verbal formula is an infinite spiral of implication. The "rogue linguistics" collected here treat words as entities with unique and epochal trajectories, and letters and phonemes as sparks of self-creation. Across these pages, idioms unzip from their ordinary attire, italics perform somersaults, commas wriggle upstream, and every mark on a page is a candidate for personified animation.
