23살 동갑내기 주인공, 미국인 비키와 한국인 두나의 문화담론기 『TALK TALK 튀는 100가지 수다』. 이 책에서는 미국과 한국을 오가면서 양국의 언어와 문화 차이를 직접 몸으로 느끼며 배우는 주인공들의 문화 체험기를 소개한다. 특히 실제 사진과 아기자기한 일러스트 및 편집으로 책을 읽는 즐거움을 더했다. 재기 발랄한 비키와 두나의 좌충우돌 문화 체험기를 부담없이 읽어 내려가면서 영어와 미국문화라는 두 마리 토끼를 모두 잡을 수 있다. 두 주인공은 한국인이 꼭 알고 싶은 미국 문화, 미국인에게 꼭 알려주고 싶은 한국의 문화를 끝없는 수다로 풀어 냈다.
