Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice in 61 Haiku (1,037 Syllables!)is a thought-provoking and witty take on a beloved classic. It will delight Jane Austen fans and introduce a new generation of readers to Austen’s satire and humor. Gaynor’s book is a series of short commentaries or responses, expressed in haiku poetry - often humorous, always insightful - on each of the first sentences of every chapter of Pride and Prejudice. It is a fascinating and enlightening contrast in style; the distillation of haiku juxtaposed with the expansiveness of Austen’s literary prose.
