Book lovers have a new way to discuss their passions,
with the release of TAOC® - The Art of Conversation: Literary
Edition. Australian creators Louise Howland and Keith Lamb have
adapted their bestselling game The Art
of Communication to offer new angles and avenues to stimulate lively
discussions about books and writings.
Ideal
for book clubs, it can also be used with friends, family, workmates, students
or even by solitary readers. It covers all genres – fiction, poetry, drama,
biography, autobiography, science fiction, fantasy, crime, romance, historical
writing –essentially, the whole bookshop!
The literature to be discussed in the Literary Edition
is not prescribed by TAOC® – that’s for the players to decide, and works
equally well whether players are reading the same or different books. The aim
is to assist people to share their close connections with books, by promoting
literary discussion that involves both serious thought and fun, through well-researched
and tested questions.
TAOC® comes with 300 starter questions
plus a 32-page guidebook that includes informative, fascinating and
comprehensive endnotes. Like all TAOC®
editions, it’s not a quiz – it’s never about who knows the most. Rather, it’s a
communication tool that draws on your own experiences, thoughts and reactions
to facilitate fascinating discussions. Even reluctant readers – and speakers - will
be drawn in!
The original TAOC®
is now available in French and German editions, with 6 other editions available
including Travel, Children and Cuisine editions.
Louise
Howland will be in New
Zealand
TAOC books are available now from all good booksellers
