💬 Usage Examples
“The author’s predilection for clinical notation accentuates the case history aspect of the novel: At the thought of an impending visit to her father, Lisa ‘felt a burning in her bladder and an uneasiness in her stomach. Her kidneys constricted at the base of her back.’ This nosography intrudes rather unpleasantly on the ordinary stream-of-consciousness-plus-recollection style of narrative technique.” Sally Poivoir; The Abuse of Little Lisa; Houston Chronicle (Texas); Sep 9, 1990.
