nGossip is no trivial matter; despite its reputation, Epstein argues, it 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. He also makes a powerful case that gossip has morphed from its old-fashioned best--clever, mocking, a great private pleasure--to a corrosive new-school version, thanks to the reach of the mass media and the Internet. n nWritten in his trademark erudite and witty style, Gossip captures the complexity of this immensely entertaining subject.n n nGossip is no trivial matter; despite its reputation, Epstein argues, it is an eternal and necessary human enterprise.
