Conversation
This is a quirky little book, half text and half art painted by the author himself, all as a way to try and stimulate conversation between us (the generic us, the great seething mass of general humanity). Conversation, Zeldin says, is not just talk - conversation is a skilled exchange of ideas, betraying our curiousity about others, and a particular open-mindedness, a willingness to be changed by the act of sitting and listening as much as putting things into words. Defensiveness, wanting to win an argument, and failing to listen to others are the enemies of conversation, Zeldin asserts, and they prevent us from really talking to one another in our romantic relationships, in our family lives, and all the way on up to the highest political dialogue.
I'm excited about this book mostly for what I hope it can articulate to new students in FP this fall, and for the impetus I hope it will give them to think of conversation - and not debate - as the point of their college career!
