Présentation de l'éditeur :
Revue de presse :
"When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name . . . .
It is perhaps only in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer."—Jeffrey Eugenides, from the introduction to My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead
All proceeds from My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead will go directly to fund the free youth writing programs offered by 826 Chicago. 826 Chicago is part of the network of seven writing centers across the United States affiliated with 826 National, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.
Eugenides offers a perfect Valentine s Day gift for lovers of literary fiction. His witty introduction, which channels Roman love poet Catullus and woolgathers engagingly about the perishable nature of love, is only the first among numerous pleasures that await the reader of this generously proportioned -- only a cad would call it fat -- gathering of 26 stories, written within the past 120 years....One of the best anthologies of recent years, as well as commanding proof that its editor is as expert a reader as he is a novelist. (Kirkus Reviews (starred))
..these beautifully crafted fictions seem like the offspring of the perfect marriage of style and substance. Eugenides s personal and passionately partisan choices...are eclectic and original...this collection makes us remember how powerful and essential the best short stories are. (Francine Prose in O magazine)
The mix chosen by Eugenides is wonderful. . . . And it is a bigger thrill to realize that however painful the heartbreak, love offers real rewards and these stories are among them. (Los Angeles Times)
