Sommario/riassunto |
|
In the thirteen personal essays in Grammar Lessons, Michele Morano connects the rules of grammar to the stories we tell to help us understand our worlds. Living and traveling in Spain during a year of teaching English to university students, she learned to translate and interpret her past and present worlds-to study the surprising moments of communication-as a way to make sense of language and meaning, longing and memory. |
