      Between You and I is James Cochrane's bestselling guide to the falling standards of written and spoken English. It is the essential course in language detoxification - a valiant attempt to salvage some pearls of good usage from the linguistic dystopia of the modern world.Many readers may be surprised to find that much of what they thought was "bad" English is in fact perfectly good, and what they have been led to think of as "good" English is sometimes ignorant, dishonest or plain stupid.

    • 'American literature and the short story might be said to have come of age at about the same time, and this, along with something in the bustling and energetic American temperament, might go some way towards explaining why the two go together as well as they do.' Twenty-one short stories from some of the best American writers over the last two hundred years provide a mesmerizing, multi-faceted portrait of a country, a people and the unique literature produced by this most exuberant of nations.
