Meet the Author

Lynne Truss is a writer and journalist who started out as a literary editor with a blue pencil and then got sidetracked. The author of three novels and numerous radio comedy dramas, she spent six years as the television critic of The Times of London, followed by four (rather peculiar) years as a sports columnist for the same newspaper. She won Columnist of the Year for her work for Women’s Journal. Lynne Truss also hosted Cutting a Dash, a popular BBC Radio 4 series about punctuation. She now reviews books for the Sunday Times of London and is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4. She lives in Brighton, England.

    Punch your what ?

    Don't schools teach punctuation any more ? This witty book lists numerous examples of the level of illiteracy to which so many have plunged over the past few decades. 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' refers to a description of the Giant Panda, which we now all know, is in the habit of killing the staff before leaving a restaurant after a meal. (There, but for the grace of a lowly comma, would I have gone on several occasions). 'Mens Toilets', Pupil's Entrance', 'Lady's Lingerie', 'Dicks in Tray' - they're all there, many of them painstakingly crafted in expensive-looking signboards. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest ; and, for God's sake, TEACH !
