Explores the phenomenon of stuttering from its practical and physical aspects to its historical profile to its existential implications. The author plumbs the depths of this murky region between will and flesh, intention and expression, idea and word.

This book argues that we should regard walking and talking in a single rhythmic vision. In doing so, it contributes to the theory of prosody, our understanding of respiration and looking, and, in sum, to the particular links, across the board, between the human characteristics of bipedal walking and meaningful talk.
