" From the early masters, Hawthorne and Melville, through Hemingway and Fitzgerald,
to the postmodern minimalists of today, love stories have been an enduring part of the American literary tradition.
Now Lucy Rosenthal has gathered the great American love stories in a wonderfully enjoyable collection.
These stories reflect America's diversity - economic, regional, racial, ethnic - as well as the common themes that love inspires: the longing of first love; married love; clandestine love; breakups and partings. " " Passionate, romantic, wistful, often sad - and even funny - these are stories to read and reread in a volume to treasure. "
