A deeply perceptive and beautifully written cultural history of shyness, from one of our most astute observers of the everydayShyness is a pervasive human trait: even most extroverts know what it is like to stand tonguetied at the fringe of an unfamiliar group or flush with embarrassment at being the unwelcome center of attention. And yet the cultural history of shyness has remained largely unwrittenuntil now.With incisiveness, passion, and humor, Joe Moran offers an eclectic and original exploration of what it means to be a shrinking violet. Along the way, he provides a collective biography of shyness through portraits of such shy individuals as Charles Darwin, Charles Schulz, Glenn Gould, and Agatha Christie, among many others. In their stories often both heartbreaking and inspiring and through the myriad ways scientists and thinkers have tried to explain and cure shyness, Moran finds hope. To be shy, he decides, is not simply a burden; it is also a gift, a different way of seeing the world that can be both enriching and inspiring.
