Praise for
diSh
by Jeannette Walls

“Jeannette Walls does a terrific job showing how the two divorced parties of news and gossip managed to get dragged back to the altar—kicking and screaming all the way—in the latter half of the twentieth century.”     —
Toronto Sun

“Provocative and invariably entertaining. Walls gives dishing the dirt its historical, social, and political due.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Dish
is a serious and accurate history of a persistent part of media coverage.”                 —
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“A well-researched and intelligent exploration of gossip then and now.”                            —
New York Daily News

“Extraordinary.”                                                                      —Don Imus

“Strewn with delicious tidbits.”                                                  
—Entertainment Weekly

“Dish
is a mouthful.”                                   
—San Antonio Express-News

“It’s an old-fashioned sideshow, high-spirited, mean-spirited, and plenty of guilty fun … snoopy scatoscopy at its juiciest.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“A fascinating, dishy story.”                                                   —
Booklist

“Written with intelligence and panache … deliciously described.”                                                  —
Sky magazine

“Walls proves the quintessential insider, and a highly entertaining one at that … a must-read.”                                                       —
Variety
