I took a dare for this summer, let’s see how I do. This post is a mini-concordance of the hyphenated words in the work as well as posts about hyphens, based on which we will explore some ideas about language and world-building. We have 402 hyphenated words to consider.
Just for the record, Tom Shippey hyphenated “web-site” in Author of the Century.
