Reading these searching, often hilarious tête-à-têtes is as effortless as eavesdropping on a crosstown bus ? Magic’ New York Times Book Review‘Vibrant, inventive and vulnerable ? Good Talk attempts to answer, with humour and heart, some of the most difficult questions of all’ Bustle‘Moving and very funny’ Esquire
