A fresh & democratic take on language by a gifted teacher. --Mary Norris
[Jovin] never hectors, never finger-points; she enlightens and illuminates. This is lovely work. --Benjamin Dreyer
An unconventional guide to the English language drawn from the cross-country adventures of an itinerant Grammarian
When Ellen Jovin first walked outside her Manhattan apartment building and set up a folding table with a GRAMMAR TABLE sign, it took about thirty seconds to get her first visitor. Everyone had a question for her. 
Grammar Table was such a hit--attracting the attention of the New York Times, NPR, & CBS Evening News--that Jovin soon took it on the road, traveling across the US to answer questions from writers, lawyers, editors, businesspeople, students, bickering couples, & anyone else who uses words in this world.
In Rebel with a Clause, Jovin tackles what is most on people's minds, grammatically speaking--from the Oxford comma to the places prepositions can go, the likely lifespan of whom, semicolonphobia, & more.
Punctuated with linguistic debates from tiny towns to our largest cities, this grammar romp will delight anyone wishing to polish their prose or revel in our age-old, universal fascination with language.
