Gossip: The Untrivial Pursuit by Joseph EpsteinISBN: 9780547844596
Publication Date: 2012-11-27
Despite its reputation, Epstein argues, gossip is an eternal and necessary human enterprise. Proving that he himself is a master of the art, Epstein serves up delightful mini-biographies of the Great Gossips of the Western World, along with many choice bits from his own experience.

This book captures the complexity of this entertaining subject.

From the calypso singer's superficially innocent rhymes to the vicious slanders published in Trujillo-era gossip columns, words have been weapons, elevating one person or group at the expense of another.
