Book description
Every day we use our mobiles and computers to communicate, but
ironically we are losing touch with face-to-face talk. Catherine Blyth
reveals the endless possibilities of conversation and shows that when it
works it can come close to heaven. With examples from Elizabeth I to
Tommy Cooper, courtesans to nomads, The Art of Conversation is full of
tips on listening, the perfect handshake, talking shop and surviving
conversational bores. Be it sharing a joke with a stranger, sparking a
new idea or just letting off steam with a friend, there are infinite
adventures to be had if you break the ice and say hello . . .
