A book about the simple art of hanging out, and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life.
What The Reviewers Say
The book, which has many moments of sharp and vivid writing, suffers from being packaged as a manifesto.
Liming’s self-proclaimed manifesto opens with a simple and expansive account of what hanging out is, the better to help us understand why it matters.
Part memoir, part research project and part manifesto on the importance of spending casual, unproductive time with other people.
Readers will gain a new appreciation for their next get-together after reading this fascinating book and taking the author’s well written words to heart..
