Talk of love surrounds us, and romance is a constant concern of
popular culture. Ann Swidler's "Talk of Love" is an attempt to
discover how people find and sustain real love in the midst of that
talk, and how that culture of love shapes their expectations and
behaviour in the process. To this end, Swidler conducted extensive
interviews with middle Americans and wound up offering us something
more than an insightful exploration of love: "Talk of Love" is also
a compelling study of how much our culture affects even the most
personal of our everyday experiences.
