From the editor of the New York Times' popular
"Modern Love" column, the story of love from beginning to
end (or not). Love. We want it. We need it. We pay it
homage with songs and poems and great works of art. And when
we lose it, there's no pain as intense or excruciating. For
centuries we've been trying to figure it out, control it, or
just get better at it. As the editor of a column about love
for the New York Times, Daniel Jones reads
thousands of stories about people's intimate
relationships—the ones that soar, crash, or hum along, from
the bizarre to the supposedly “normal.” It's possible that
he's read more true love stories than anyone on earth. In
Love Illuminated, he teases apart this mystifying
emotion that thrills, crushes, and sustains. Drawing
from the 50,000 stories that have crossed his desk over the
past decade, Jones explores ten aspects of love—pursuit,
destiny, vulnerability, connection, trust, practicality,
monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom—and creates a
lively, funny and enlightening journey through this
universal human experience that jangles the head and stirs
the heart.
