This text is an opportunity to explore Michael Osborn's rich thinking, past and present, about rhetorical metaphor. I always wondered, why Memphis? Something mythic, I suspected. He settled there early on, it turns out, because 'an educated Southerner . . . might do some good in that troubled land.' There he undertook to live a moral life in troubled times. His writing about metaphor was embedded in that undertaking. He reveals motives for probing the subject deeply. This is a book to read for pleasure, insight, and inspiration. -- ROBERT IVIE, Professor Emeritus, Departments of American Studies and Communication and Culture, Indiana University
