Description
Modern Love is a joyful collection of the most popular, provocative, and unforgettable essays from the New York Times "Modern Love" column. It features stories from the upcoming anthology series starring Tina Fey, Andy Garcia, Anne Hathaway, Catherine Keener, Dev Patel, and John Slattery.
A young woman goes through the five stages of ghosting grief. A man's promising fourth date ends in the emergency room. A female lawyer with bipolar disorder experiences the highs and lows of dating. A widower hesitates about introducing his children to his new girlfriend. A divorcee in her seventies looks back at the beauty and rubble of past relationships.
These are just a few of the people who tell their stories in Modern Love, featuring dozens of the most memorable essays to run in The New York Times "Modern Love" column since its debut in 2004.
Some of the stories are unconventional, while others hit close to home. Some reveal the way technology has changed dating forever, while others explore the timeless struggles experienced by anyone who has ever searched for love. But above everything else, all of the stories are honest. Together, they tell the larger story of how relationships begin, often fail, and—when we're lucky—endure.
Edited by longtime "Modern Love" editor Daniel Jones and featuring a diverse selection of contributors—including Mindy Hung, Trey Ellis, Ann Hood, Deborah Copaken, Terri Cheney, and more—this is the perfect book for anyone who's loved, lost, stalked an ex on social media, or pined for true romance: in other words, anyone interested in the endlessly complicated workings of the human heart.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The essays are described as "wrenching-and sometimes funny-musings on romance, death, and all other topics that fall under the 'relationships' category," according to Oprah Magazine. This highlights the book's genuine emotional depth alongside moments of humour.
