STYLE
Vardell cites Rebecca Lukens recommendations about what to look at when looking “at an author’s use of ‘devices of style.’ These devices can be their use of figurative language, imagery and word play. Smith is a master of the latter. An example of this would be his play with puns. For example when the technology inclined jackass asks the monkey as to the location of his book’s mouse, the tiny hat perched on the monkey’s head lifts and an tiny, brown furred mouse pops out and replies, “Here I am.”
