Review

"Provocative and invariably entertaining, Walls gives dishing its historical, social, and political due."

"Wall's book is informative....DISH is at its best when detailing the often-ignominious backgrounds of some of today's most ubiquitous news figures."

"Here is a Janus-faced muckraker, one side telling how ink is spilled on the keyhole revelations, the other offering some fun in a naughty mudbath. Snoopy scatoscopy at its juiciest."

Publisher's note

Gossip.It's more than just hearsay. society columns, and supermarket tabloids.It has, like it or not, become a mainstay of American pop culture.In Dish, industry insider Jeannette Walls gives this provocative subject its due, offering a comprehensive, serious exploration of gossip and its social, historical, and political significance.Examining the topic from the inside out, Walls looks at the players; the origins of gossip, from birth of People magazine to the death of Ladi Di; and how technology including the Internet will continue to change the face gossip.As compelling and seductive as its subject matter, Dish brilliantly reveals the fascinating inner workings of a phenomenon that is definitely here to stay.
