Today, I received a review copy of Stutter published with Harvard University Press. The author is Marc Shell, professor for Comparative Literature and English at Harvard University, and a stutterer himself. Prof Shell is famous enough to have his own Wikipedia entry.A cheeky theoretical physicist, which also happen to be the author of this blog, is already looking forward to writing a review on Stutter in his third foreign language commenting on work by a professor of English at Harvard! :-)
As I am unfortunately also lazy, you might have to wait a few weeks... So in the mean time, you can get more details or buy the book: here.

Thanks for the hint! I just ordered it from Amazon, looks promising... Hopefully it's a good read, and hopefully somebody in Hollywood someday decides to make a movie about it (or about stuttering in general), some more public awareness is badly needed...
It bothers me a bit what I read in some reviews about the book, concerning the authors practise of substitution of words... But I guess I should read the book, first before I start nagging about it ;-)
