"Nathan's writing is completely accessible, his arguments sound, and his conclusions dead-on."--Chicago Tribune "Saying It's So is ambitious in its reach, well-researched, and clearly written. The range of texts it considers is impressive and important, and its readings of individual texts are invariably engaging."--Michael Oriard, author of Sporting with the Gods: The Rhetoric of Play and Game in American Literature
