With listenership in the millions, Kelsey found herself thinking more critically about gossip as a form, and wanting to better understand the role it plays in our culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eYou Didn't Hear This From Me\u003c\/i\u003e, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin, and how can we better recognize when it's being weaponized? Why do we think we're entitled to every detail of a celebrity's personal life? And how do we define \"gossip,\" anyway? As much as the book aims to treat gossip as a subject worthy of rigor, it also hopes to capture 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1538757400\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781538757406\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: McKinney, Kelsey\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Feb 2025)","offer_id":46080693174469,"sku":"9781538757406","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781538757406.jpg?v=1776039446","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/you-didnt-hear-this-from-me-mostly-true-notes-on-gossip","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
