Produktbeschreibung

How does one talk about love? Is it even possible to describe something at once utterly mundane and wholly transcendent, that has the power to consume our lives completely, while making us feel part of something infinitely larger than ourselves?

Taking a unique approach to this age-old problem, the nameless narrator of David Levithan's The Lover's Dictionary constructs the story of a relationship as a dictionary. Through these sharp entries, he provides an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of coupledom, giving us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love in our time.

Rezensionen

'Teasing, intriguing and easy to devour in one go.' Cosmopolitan

'Romantic, quick, clever, funny. Read it in one sitting.' Sunday Times Style

'Like all good love stories, this one is both unique and universal; it's impossible not to nod along in recognition...It is a refreshingly grown-up story of a love affair between adults... Levithan is a generous, warm-hearted writer, and his conceit feels original... A Valentine's gift? What could be better?' Observer

'Covers everything from delight to desolation' Time Out
