Book Overview
This paperback edition of the best love stories of our time as selected from the past decade's Pushcart Prize collections is "a best of the best."
The editors suggest that we are a culture bombarded with love ditties and TV romances, but this has little to do with romantic love as most of us experience it. The authors in this anthology--all devoted to truth, not commerce--see love with a different perspective, be it wonderful, sad, tragic, ridiculous, or hilarious. These writers break free from stereotypes.
Like Pushcart's previous love story collection--the popular Love Stories for the Time Being--this anthology selects stories by the known and the new: Mona Simpson, Joyce Carol Oates, Becky Birtha, Clarence Major, Elizabeth Spencer, and Andre Dubus, plus twenty others.
