Garvey credits the book’s huge success and decades-long influence to the dual voices of its
authors: “Strunk sounds teacherly, though he’s not without humor” as he lays down his views on
grammar, while “White’s voice … is that of a writer, the practitioner of long experience whose
sympathies favor the artistic side of the enterprise.” The book’s obsession with simplicity and
directness is another reason, Garvey explains: It gives “the promise that careful, clear thinking and
writing can occasionally touch truth; the promise of depth in simplicity and beauty in plainness.”
