Summary

Look around you. The world is more homogenous than you think. Far too often, distinctions among people, places, and things are matters of degree rather than kind. Many are illusory. As satire, Little House of Imaginary Distinctions is meant to complement Steven Carter's previous book, Little House of Oxymorons, published by Hamilton Books in 2010.

Little House of Imaginary Distinctions Reviews

Steven Carter has acquitted himself well. -- James Geary, author of All Aphorisms, All The Time and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists
Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts. -- Amelia de Moura Tavares, University of Lisbon
Exquisite. -- Glenn Lucke, University of Virginia
To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgment. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done, all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by. -- Edwin J. Barton, Bakersfield College
