friendship: an expose (2006)

Friendship: An Expose (Joseph Epstein)

i was already a big fan of epstein's "snobbery" so when i heard that he was turning his attentions to the topic of friendship, i was delighted. the book is not an exacting tome on friendship as much as it is a retrospective of epstein's friendships and subsequent personal observations. it makes for interesting reading and epstein throws in enough thought curveballs that everyone should gain something (or re-evalulate, re-categorize your friends) from reading this book.
