Our generation in the covid-19 era

We aren't the first to experience this; it's just a different name

Icon book review: Talking to Strangers

It was December's book club selection, and I thank the Ada library director for making the choice to read it
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 24, 2021

“Talking to Strangers” (Hachette Book Group, ISBN978-0-316-47852-6) presents cases where spoken language is subverted by non-verbal cues that can be misconstrued by the observer to mean something other than what they are meant to be.
