People were friendlier back then. Less urbanised. So they harboured more hospitality for their fellow citizens.

That hasn't been true for about 6000 years. People who live in cities have always not talked to strangers. Before smartphones, people read the paper, I'm not sure what they did before that, but anti-socal behavior is a function of population density not technology.

If you want friendly yokels, move to the country. They are still there, they are also boring as shit.

Are Tartt's books any good, or should I stick strictly to masturbating to pictures of her?

The 'awkward silence' is a spook, just ignore it and it will go away
