Love is Strange Stories of Postmodern Romance [Paperback]

What is this thing called love? And where has it gone in contemporary fiction? Do serious young writers still attempt love stories? If they do, are the tales they tell drenched in cynicism or tenderness? Is modern love about intimacy, or desire, or obsession, or simple hard-edged attitude? Or all of the above?These diverse and original and sometimes thoroughly outrageous talents present love stories that range from the tender to the abrasive, the sunny to the darkly sexual, the poignant to the savagely ironic.
