- Synopsis
- Reflections on how we talk to each other and how we can do it better by “a powerful writer with a musical ear for language and a gift for emotional candor.” —The New York TimesIn this erudite and playful primer on the art of conversation, Stephen Kuusisto vigorously tackles the slippery subject of how to converse meaningfully with others. Kuusisto employs a wide range of personal anecdotes, classical texts, and an engaging style to illustrate his points. In seven short, provocative and imaginatively wrought chapters, he spins a compelling argument for the joys of “being connected,” and skillfully shows how to achieve this bond in everyday exchanges.Praise for the works of Stephen Kuusisto“Masterful.” —Kirkus Reviews“Luminous.” —The Boston Globe“Perceptive and beautifully crafted.” —Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation
