Historic LoDo: Jesse Sheidlower is Editor-at-Large of the Oxford English Dictionary. Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on obscenity in English, he has written about language for the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s, Slate, and many other publications. Sheidlower will discuss and sign his book The F-Word ($16.95 Oxford University Press). In this thoroughly updated third edition of The F-Word, Sheidlower offers a rich, revealing look at the f-bomb and its illimitable uses. Since the fifteenth century, no other word has been adapted, interpreted, euphemized, censored, and shouted with as much ardor or force.
