The amusing and erudite anatomy of modern friendship, from the New York Times -bestselling author of Snobbery .



Is it possible to have too many friends? Is your spouse supposed to be your best friend? How far should you go to help a friend in need? And how do you end a friendship that has run its course?

 

In a "smart, delightfully literate, and sophisticated" anatomy of friendship in all its contemporary guises, Joseph Epstein uncovers the rich and surprising truths about our favored companions ( Los Angeles Times ). Friendship illuminates those complex, wonderful relationships without which we'd all be lost.
