Opis

Hilarious hypothetical conversations spanning time and space. Lady Bird Johnson and Marilyn Monroe discuss the virtues of love and marriage. Coco Chanel and Christopher Marlow weigh in on sexuality. Noel Coward discusses sex with Tennessee Williams. But matters of the heart aren't the only topics addressed by luminaries from Sophocles to Barack Obama. Carl Jung reveals the secret to psychiatry: "Show me a sane man and I'll cure him for you." Oprah Winfrey explains why she gave up her dream of becoming an interior designer: "It's easier for me to make multi-million dollar decisions, than decide on carpet for my porch." John Paul I examines the mystery of preordination: "If someone had told me I would be Pope one day, I would have studied harder." Some of history's greatest minds - and a few notables who speak as if they've lost theirs - ponder life and its impact on the one person who has dominated mankind's thoughts, dreams and aspirations since the beginning of time.
