Haywire Way Higher

This wildly unorthodox book mixes original Spoonerism couplets with explanatory or crazy comments or stories, aimed at entertaining both wordplay nuts and ordinary mortals. Like Anil’s last four books (self-published but all Award Winners) it is an exercise in the use of constrained writing, with themes dictated by the spooner constraints. More than a gimmick, the constraints generate silly, amusing or unusual situations that he lacks the imagination to create de novo. The result is crazy fun.Yet it’s scholarly, seen in the big Spoonerism Dictionary at the end. Examples:synonyms: Achilles heel = hock-kill-ease ail.Here and now = Near? And how!antonyms: Bury the hatchet. ≠ Hurry the bad shit.Harmony ≠ Mar honey.essays: Free society—so see variety.Meet your Maker… Mate, you’re meeker!Money numby.
