A wide-ranging and eclectic collection of short stories on the theme of love in its various forms: romantic, erotic, impossible, undying and exhausted. No other aspect of the human experience regularly inspires such an outpouring of poetry, prose and philosophy as love. From passionate declarations to clinical analysis, writers of every age have been fascinated, tormented and inspired by love. This beautifully produced collection of short stories will combine the best of contemporary and classic fiction on the theme of love, from Catullus to Alice Munro. Edited and introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Middlesex, this wonderfully heterodox look at love will include, amongst others, A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, The Lady with the Lapdog by Anton Chekhov and stories by Lorrie Moore, Milan Kundera and Guy de Maupassant.
