Book Synopsis Selected Declarations of Dependence by : Harry Mathews
Book excerpt: Selected Declarations of Dependence is based on a set of forty-six familiar proverbs, used and abused in various ways. The proverbs provide the entire vocabulary of the opening story, "Their Words, For You." In the section called "Perverbs and Paraphrases," Mathews explores the narrative implications of the crossed proverb or "perverb," in which two regular proverbs are mixed ("A rolling stone leads to Rome.").
