Click and Collect for You didn't hear this from me : notes on the art of gossip"In [this book], McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. What even is gossip, and why is it considered a sin? Why are we obsessed with the details of celebrity drama and tabloid headlines? How do we use and abuse gossip - and why do we want to do it at all? McKinney dives deep into a range of cultural cornerstones - from the Epic of Gilgamesh as told by chatbots, to the scandalous betrayals in The Traitors - and captures the heart of gossiping: how enchanting and fun it can be to lean over and whisper something a little salacious into your friend's ear. With wit and honesty, McKinney unmasks what we're actually searching for when we demand to know the truth - and how much the truth really matters in the first place"-- Amazon.com.
