Description

“This adventurous anthology expands the definition of amatory fiction…Outstanding." -Publishers Weekly (Pushcart’s previous love stories collection)

Selected from hundreds of Pushcart Prize winners, twenty-five brilliant writers - including Charles Baxter, Karen Russell, Charles Johnson, and Donald Hall - tell their contemporary love tales, both fiction and nonfiction, in often unsparing ways. In some there is a joyous celebration of love, in others the game is perplexing, but always fascinating.
