Among Friends
Letty Cottin Pogrebin answers hundreds of provocative questions in her landmark book about friendship in all its pleasurable, problematical complexity. Deftly weaving fresh insights, eye-opening facts, and heart-warming anecdotes, Pogrebin draws on nearly 150 interviews and a vast body of research to analyze whom we choose as friends, how we make friends, and why some friendships crack under the smallest pressure while others last a lifetime.
