Delightfully well-written, accessible, surprisingly reflecting ...
and humorous
*Niamh Jiménez, Irish Times*
Surprising... intriguing... enjoyable
*New Scientist*
In this time of digital disconnection, Talking Heads is a reminder
of the enduring power of face-to-face interactions and
conversations. It is a thoughtful book that might make you watch
what you say
*Irish Independent*
Talking Heads ... is mostly interested in big-picture questions:
how intact memory supports our sociality and binds us into
collective beings who share collective memories. ... The point
O'Mara is most keen to make in his book is that entities such as
nations 'begin as conversations'... O'Mara is an entertaining
guide, full of good stories
*Times Literary Supplement*
O'Mara delves deeply into the ways we use conversations to create
our cultures and build entire nations ... There's a lot in it that
resonates
*Irish Times*
