THE NEW YORK TIMES. BESTSELLER. A deliciously insightful exploration of why we are so obsessed with gossip, and what it can tell us about humans and their search for truth. 'Sharp-witted and thoroughly researched. McKinney convincingly proves that gossiping is a legitimate part of modern life' The Times. "Can you keep a secret. ". It's harder than it seems - after all, it's only human to thirst after the juicy updates, jaw-dropping stories, and idle chatter that we typically collect over drinks with friends. No one knows this better than journalist Kelsey McKinney, whose Normal Gossip podcast has accrued a listenership of millions. In YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME. , McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. What even is gossip, and why is it considered a sin. Why are we obsessed with the details of celebrity drama and tabloid headlines. How do we use and abuse gossip - and why do we want to do it at all. McKinney dives deep into a range of cultural cornerstones - from the Epic of Gilgamesh as told by chatbots, to the scandalous betrayals in The Traitors - and captures the heart of gossiping: how enchanting and fun it can be to lean over and whisper something a little salacious into your friend's ear. With wit and honesty, McKinney unmasks what we're actually searching for when we demand to know the truth - and how much the truth really matters in the first place.
