Talking with friends. Runi S.

“Talking with friends” is the first book by Sally Runi, who instantly made a 26-year-old graduate of the Trinity College of the world famous writer. A novel, flying around the whole world at the speed of message in Snapchata. The text that posed a question before us: why do people say so much, but at the same time do not know either themselves or each other at all?

Francis, Bobby, Nick and Melissa ask each other countless questions. Their relationship develops in real life and online, they endlessly drink and say, they say, they say. They discuss sex and friendship, art and literature, policy and issues of sex, and, of course, each other. Young Francis openly tells us about his difficult relationship with the nickname, a man married to her friend.

Yes, of course, you can read this novel as a book about incorrectness, growing up and the difficulties of intimacy. But in fact, this is acute literature about the problems of personality and human communication. Meanwhile, who we are, and the “picture” that we draw others, is a huge abyss. This book is about how easy it is to confuse self -deception with self -knowledge.
