Small Talk

Eamon Evans
Ever been stuck in a social situation with nothing to say and nowhere to go? "Just being yourself" is all very well, but what if you're not very interesting? What if you're an accountant? Or a dentist? Or a dredger? The sort of person whose offerings at a dinner party help reconcile fellow diners to death? Help is at hand! Arranged according to social situation - how to talk to a hairdresser; what to say at a wedding - 'Small Talk' is teeming with tailor-made trivia that will amuse, beguile and charm. Forced to go to a funeral? Lighten the mood with tales of amusing celebrity deaths and misplaced body parts - or hilarious stories of wakes gone wrong. Whether you need to dazzle at a dinner party or fascinate at the footy, bond at a book club or gel in gaol, 'Small Talk' will do it for you.
