On the way, Goldsmith has reinvented prosody - conting by 1's 2's 3's, and up - as he inventories the raring rush of rippling, or is it ripping?, words: inchoate yet coalescing, a fractal romp on just this side of virtual reality." All the phrases end in sounds end in the sound R and are organized alphabetically by syllable-count beginning with A, aar, air and ending with a "7,228 syllable tour de force of astonishing proportions. But in the spirit of George Perec...Goldsmith uses these rules to expose the reader/listener/viewer to the marvels and vagaries of language in the late twentieth century....
