Loading... Conversation: A History of a Declining Art (edition 2007)by Stephen MillerI plucked this book from my TBR pile after a recent feature about it on CBS's Sunday Morning. Lovers of conversation will wish to take a time machine back to the Turk's Head to have coffee with Boswell and Johnson or track down Dr. Franklin to raise a mug. Stephen Miller does more than recite a history of talk, but brings great conversationalists back to life. Even though the state of modern conversation is enough to cause despair this work will make one take enough heart to exercise their verbal dexterity to delay its' demise as long as possible. |
