520 _a and other compounds of love alchemy. For three-quarters of a century, The New Yorker has played the central role in the publication and the very definition of the best short fiction written in the world.. With pleasure, sadness, yearning, and dismay, we follow these subtle and surprising investigators of ourselves in love, from the seizures of erotic passion to the revisited depths of romantic despair. Taken separately, these stories suggest the infinite variety of the human heart. Taken together, they are a literary milestone, a comprehensive review of the way we live and love now.
520 _aLove becomes life, Roger Angell proposes in his Introduction to Nothing But you: Love Stories from The New Yorker and the variety of his meticulous and generous selection-thirty-eight stories , the first anthology of New Yorker fiction in three decades-proves his point. Different stories which demonstrate different kinds of love and lovers. And so we find between these covers a college girl at last getting a first kiss from her clueless roommate
