When Mae West said It's Not The Men In My Life, It's The Life In My Men, she was using chiasmus. Dr Mardy Grothe has compiled hundreds of examples of chiasmus in the whimsically illustrated collection, bringing this witty and thought-provoking device out of obscurity and into the public imagination.
"There is plenty of delight in this overdue collection." Houston Chronicle
