Daniel Jones Libri

Una donna che ama il marito più dei suoi stessi figli; una ragazza bipolare che non riesce a far durare le sue relazioni sentimentali; un vedovo in cerca del modo migliore per presentare la nuova compagna ai suoi bambini; una coppia che prova a curare le incomprensioni sfidandosi a tennis. Queste sono solo quattro delle tante storie che da quindici anni, settimanalmente, il “New York Times” racconta in una seguitissima rubrica intitolata Modern Love. Storie molto intime, tutte vere, tutte variazioni, sperimentate sul campo, di ciò che uomini e donne di questo nostro tempo, alla ricerca di una verità profonda e universale, credono possa essere un gesto d’amore. Daniel Jones, curatore della rubrica, ha raccolto queste esperienze in un libro: il risultato è un’antologia cangiante, una tavolozza ricca di tonalità emotive, una declinazione sorprendente di questo imprendibile, multiforme sentimento. "Modern Love" oggi è diventato un fortunato format sia televisivo che radiofonico, e il taglio narrativo di ciò che racconta costituisce il suo grande punto di forza: episodi straordinari quanto normali, dove coraggio e vulnerabilità spuntano d’un tratto a illuminare la pagina, per sorprendere e a commuovere, a far sentire meno solo chi legge.

A joyful collection of the most popular, provocative, and unforgettable essays from the New York Times 'Modern Love' column, featuring stories from the upcoming anthology series starring Tina Fey, Andy Garcia, Anne Hathaway, Catherine Keener, Dev Patel, and John Slattery. A young woman goes through the five stages of ghosting grief. A man's promising fourth date ends in the emergency room. A female lawyer with bipolar disorder experiences the highs and lows of dating. A widower hesitates about introducing his children to his new girlfriend. A divorcée in her seventies looks back at the beauty and rubble of past relationships. These are just a few of the people who tell their stories in Modern Love featuring dozens of the most memorable essays to run in the New York Times "Modern Love" column since its debut in 2004. Some of the stories are unconventional, while others hit close to home. Some reveal the way technology has changed dating forever; others explore the timeless struggles experienced by anyone who has ever searched for love. But all of the stories are, above everything else, honest. Together, they tell the larger story of how relationships begin, often fail, and-when we're lucky-endure. This is the perfect book for anyone who's loved, lost, stalked an ex on social media, or pined for true romance: in other words, anyone interested in the endlessly complicated workings of the human heart.
