"Conversations with Friends" is Sally Rooney's first book, instantly making the 26-year-old Trinity College graduate an internationally acclaimed author. A novel that traveled the world at the speed of a snapchat message. A text that posed the question: why do people talk so much, yet don't know themselves or each other at all?
Frances, Bobby, Nick, and Melissa ask each other countless questions. Their relationship evolves in real life and online, they drink endlessly and talk, talk, talk. They discuss sex and friendship, art and literature, politics and gender issues, and of course, each other. Young Frances candidly tells us about her complicated relationship with Nick, a man married to her friend. Yes, of course, you can read this novel as a book about infidelity, growing up, and the complexities of intimacy. But it's actually a poignant piece of literature about issues of identity and human communication. There is a huge gulf between who we are and the "picture" we paint to those around us. This book is about how easy it is to confuse self-deception with self-knowledge.
