In Off the Rails, Benton Savage offers a sardonic and playful interrogation of the idioms that populate our speech. By taking common phrases like a penny saved or fighting tooth and nail at face value, he reveals their inherent strangeness and unearths a treasure trove of dark comedy and surprising insight. This book is a delightful and thought-provoking twist on the language we think we know.
