Now in paperback, a story of teenage love in Cold War-era Germany.
For a fifteen-year-old, falling in love can eclipse everything else
in the world, and make a few short weeks feel like a lifetime of
experience. In Love Writ Large, Navid Kermani captures those
intense feelings, from the emotional explosion of a first kiss to
the staggering loss of a first breakup. As his teenage protagonist
is wrapped up in these all-consuming feelings, however, Germany is
in the crosshairs of the Cold War-and even the personal dramas of a
small-town grammar school are shadowed by the threat of the nuclear
arms race. Kermani's novel manages to capture these social tensions
without sacrificing any of the all-consuming passion of first love
and, in a unique touch, sets the boy's struggles within the larger
frame of the stories and lives of numerous Arabic and Persian
mystics. His becomes a timeless tale that reflects on the multiple
ways love, loss, and risk weigh on our everyday lives.
