Friendships are built on chatter, on gossip, on revelations--on
talk. Over the course of the summer of 1965, Linda Rosenkrantz
taped conversations between three friends (two straight, one gay)
on the cusp of thirty vacationing at the beach: Emily, an actor;
Vince, a painter; and Marsha, a writer. The result was "Talk," a
novel in dialogue. The friends are ambitious, conflicted, jealous,
petty, loving, funny, sex- and shrink-obsessed, and there's nothing
they won't discuss. Topics covered include LSD, fathers, exes,
lovers, abortions, S&M, sculpture, books, cats, and of course,
each other. "Talk" was ahead of its time in recognizing the
fascination and significance of nonfamily ties in contemporary
life. It may be almost fifty years since Emily, Vince, and Marsha
spent the season in East Hampton, but they wouldn't be out of place
on the set of "Girls" or in the pages of a novel like Sheila Heti's
"How Should a Person Be?"
