From the first high school reunion to the last September wedding, a quick coffee catch-up to a boozy brunch with old friends, summer is the season for reconnecting with people from your past. But what’s the best way to get back into the flow with someone you haven’t seen in a while?
British authors Judy Apps and Catherine Blyth have mastered the art of conversation — in fact, they’ve both written books by that very name. Apps’ The Art of Conversation coaches the reluctant or anxious conversationalist to speak thoughtfully and listen empathetically, while Blyth’s book, also titled The Art of Conversation, draws upon history, philosophy, literature, and Blyth’s own cunning sense of humor to enumerate the elements of successful conversations — and the traps that ensnare them.
I spoke separately over the phone with Apps and Blyth to learn their tips for reengaging with old friends over a meal. Both women were warm, witty, and easy to open up to, and said that genuine interest and a relaxed attitude are key to chatting fluidly.
