The beloved New York Times bestselling author Making Toast and
Kayak Morning returns with a powerful meditation on a universal
subject: love. In The Book of Love, Roger Rosenblatt explores love
in all its moods and variations-romantic love, courtship, battle,
mystery, marriage, heartbreak, fury, confusion, melancholy,
delirium, ecstasy; love of family, of friends; love of home, of
country, of work, of writing, of solitude, of art; love of nature;
love of life itself. Rosenblatt is on a quest to illuminate this
elusive and essential emotion, to define this thing called love.
Cleverly using lines from love songs to create a flowing ballad-as
infectious and engaging as a jazz riff-he intersperses fictional
vignettes that capture lovers in different situations, ages, and
temperaments along with notes addressed to "you," his wife of fifty
years. "The story I have to tell is of you. Of others, too. Other
people, other things. But mainly of you. It begins and ends with
you. It always comes back to you." Lively yet profound, poignant
yet joyous, The Book of Love is a triumph of intellect and
imagination: a personal discourse on love that is both novel and
timeless.
