How does one talk about love? We are all beginners when it comes to
love, from those tentative first dates to learning how to live
with, or without, someone. But how does one describe love? How does
one chart its delights and pleasures, its depths and desolations?
Do we even have the right words to describe something that can be
both utterly mundane and completely transcendent, pulling us out of
our everyday lives and making us feel a part of something greater
than ourselves? David Levithan's The Lover's Dictionary starts
where we all once started - with the alphabet. Constructing the
story of a relationship as a dictionary, Levithan explores the
intimacies and workings of love through his nameless narrator, to
paint a moving portrait of love through everyday words. Cleverly
using the confines of language to provide an intimate window into
the great events and quotidian trifles of being part of a couple,
Levithan gives us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love
in our time.
