A Good Talk book cover

Talk is tricky. You offend when you don't mean to—or don't when you do. Be tongue tied no more. Know what to do when the inadvertent affront occurs or a professional conversation suddenly veers toward sex. Daniel Menaker, who learned how to lift up and let down many a writer in his long career as an editor at The New Yorker and Random House, explores the finer points of verbal exchange in his new book, A Good Talk: The Story and Skill of Conversation.

She kind of reminds of Marcie from Charlie Browns Peanut gang. It's the glasses more than anything. I think she's cute.
