KITTY BURNS FLOREY

Kitty Burns Florey is the author of nine novels and numerous stories and essays, but it was for something entirely different that she has suddenly become a surprising and most delightful bestselling author. Published this past autumn, Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences (Melville House) is a look at language like no other ... seen since grade school. Instructive and amusing, this book is much more enjoyable than the way these things were taught back in the day—at least it seems so in recollection. Something took root then for Kitty Burns Florey, who also has worked as a copyeditor. She makes it all wonderfully alive here. "Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog is a wistful, charming, and funny ode to a nearly lost art." - June Casagrande.
