Daniel Menaker and "A Good Talk; The Story and Skill of Conversation"

Funny how things find their way into your life sometimes. In the car today, leaving a social media presentation I gave, I happened to hear a little bit of “The Splendid Table,” a show I sometimes listen to by podcast. But it just happened to be on the radio, and the bit that was playing was an interview I was very interested in.

Daniel Menaker, author of, “A Good Talk; The Story and Skill of Conversation,” was talking with the host. I must read this book. It is a topic I’m very interested in and I could tell from the short interview it will be a book I’ll want to take a highlighter to.

In addition to giving me a new book to read, it spawned an idea. I think I’d like to offer some author interviews here. I’m always fascinated to hear about an author’s writing process, and I’m a really good interviewer. I’m not sure authors will be willing to talk with me, but I guess I will see. I need to figure out some technical things, but once I do, perhaps Mr. Menaker will be one of the first I ask..
