'Eunoia', which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest word in the English language to contain all five vowels. This book also contains them all, but never at the same time. Each of Eunoia's five chapters is univocalic: that is, each chapter uses only one vowel.
A unique personality for each vowel soon emerges: A is courtly, E is elegaic, I is lyrical, O is jocular, U is obscene. Seven years in the making, EUNOIA is a triumphant feat, as playful as it is awe-inspiring.
