Produktbeschreibung

How does one talk about love?

Do we even have the right words to describe something that can be both utterly mundane and completely transcendent, pulling us out of our everyday lives and making us feel a part of something greater than ourselves? Taking a unique approach to this problem, the nameless narrator of David Levithan's The Lover's Dictionary has constructed the story of his relationship as a dictionary. Through these short entries, he provides an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of being within a couple, 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
