Produktbeschreibung
This brilliant, dazzling story collection shatters then transforms every idea you've ever had about love. In story after story, Glover dissects the human heart, and in the darkest corners, he finds evidence of life. Best friends fall in love with the same woman over and over again. A serial killer finds a wife. A Proust scholar starts an adulterous affair and moves into a rental storage unit. A boy falls hopelessly and pathologically in love with his babysitter. Lovers travel in time. A new Ice Age begins. An ancient language dies. Page after page overflow with the vagaries of lust, the lure of novelty, the perils of infidelity, and the destructive and redemptive nature of passion. Absurd, comic, dream-like, and deeply affecting (on the molecular level), Savage Love confirms Douglas Glover as the most adventurous story writer this country has ever witnessed.
